Features of the drug Helavit S
Chelavit C is a food supplement with a predominantly mineral composition. The main elements in it are combined with amino acids, due to which they are especially quickly and easily absorbed by the body. The developer of the formula is the Russian organization Delta.
Thanks to Helavit’s special formula, all elements are easily absorbed by the cat’s body
Chelavit C eliminates the deficiency of microelements and is used as an adjuvant in the treatment of various diseases, as well as for their prevention. Has the following effects:
- improves metabolism;
- strengthens the immune system, increases endurance;
- has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and coat;
- increases the level of hemoglobin in the blood;
- accelerates the process of rehabilitation after illness;
- helps the animal cope with stress;
- improves the ability to conceive and facilitates pregnancy;
- promotes better growth of kittens and increases their survival rate.
Chelavite also has a beneficial effect on most other animals.
Compound
Helavit S contains:
- Iron. This element prevents anemia. With a lack of iron, the animal suffers from weakness, behaves depressed and lethargic.
- Copper. Promotes better absorption of iron. Important for the synthesis of collagen, bones and connective tissues. Responsible for the rich color of the coat, as it takes part in the production of pigment. Has antioxidant properties.
- Manganese. Normalizes the functioning of joints, strengthens bones. If there is a deficiency, the animal has problems with the reproductive system.
- Zinc. Important for the good condition and beauty of the coat. Has a beneficial effect on the skin.
- Cobalt. Participates in the production of hemoglobin. Important for the normal development of the animal. A deficiency of this microelement in producers leads to problems with both conception and bearing offspring.
- Selenium. Normalizes muscle function and prevents their atrophy. Important for normal heart function.
- Iodine. Important for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Deficiency leads to infertility.
Packing
Chelavit C is available as a brown or green-brown liquid for oral use. It has no odor and almost no taste, which is why most animals calmly consume it with food.

Can it be used?
The name of the veterinary drug Helavit comes from the term “chelates” - organometallic substances that promote better absorption of microelements compared to extracting metal ions from mineral salts. The drug Helavit is a complex of several elements necessary for the animal’s body in a form accessible to it.
Indications for use:
- deficiency of useful ingredients in feed: the supply of microelements is replenished;
- general strengthening, protection of the individual from stressful conditions, increased growth;
- prevention of anemia from iron deficiency;
- promoting the healing of injuries, the consequences of surgical intervention: hematopoiesis is stimulated;
- allergies, dermatitis.
The drug is prescribed for agricultural and domestic animals, including cats, and fur-bearing animals. The veterinary product improves the condition of pets' fur and normalizes metabolism.
Indications for use
The product is often used to generally strengthen the cat’s body and prevent disease. Helavit C is also recommended in such cases as:
- stress;
- prolonged shedding, deterioration of coat texture, dullness and hair loss, including baldness;
- general deficiency of microelements due to an unbalanced diet;
- pre- and postoperative period;
- metabolic disorders;
- exhaustion, blood loss;
- significant physical activity.
An acquaintance who often participates in exhibitions told me that some owners give their cats Helavit S to prepare for the event: this product makes the coat beautifully glossy and shiny. Some, according to her, shorten the molting period in this way - few people want to show judges and spectators an animal with falling out and dull hair.
Diseases for which Helavit C is often included in the treatment regimen:
- anemia;
- hypothyroidism;
- liver pathologies;
- viral infections;
- parasite damage;
- skin diseases such as eczema or dermatitis;
- allergies.
When to use
According to the instructions, Helavit for cats is used in the treatment of the following diseases:
- anemia;
- metabolic disorders;
- hypothyroidism;
- micronutrient deficiency.
The drug is also used to prevent and treat stress that occurs after visiting a veterinarian, transportation, participation in an exhibition or in other situations. The medicine is included in complex therapy for the following health problems:
- for liver pathologies;
- for viral infections;
- when infected with parasites;
- with demodicosis;
- for dermatitis, eczema and other skin diseases;
- with baldness;
- for allergies;
- with blood loss;
- when exhausted.
You can also use the medicine to improve the coat, including during preparation for an exhibition or competition, to stop shedding, during physical exercise, to improve reproductive function or improve the health of the pet in general.
Instructions for use and dosage
Chelavit C is added to the pet's food or diluted in water and administered after meals, for example, using a syringe without a needle.
You cannot simply add the drug to the drinking bowl - the cat will not drink the required amount of liquid.
The average course is 30 days.
It is convenient to administer the drug using a syringe
The dosage depends on the condition of the pet. For prevention, as well as for stress or general deficiency of nutrients, it is 1-2 drops per day, for kittens - only 1 drop. During the period of treatment or recovery from illnesses and injuries, as well as in case of severe exhaustion, the daily dose is 3-5 drops for adult animals and 2-3 drops for kittens.
Injections are administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Depending on the condition of the animal and a number of other factors, the dose can range from 0.05 to 0.1 ml per 1 kg of weight. If your pet is sick, injections are given daily for 1-2 weeks, for prevention - 2-3 times a week for 2-3 weeks.
If liquid gets on mucous membranes or skin, they should be washed with plenty of water.
Before giving your pet a remedy in one form or another, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian - an excess of minerals harms the animal no less than their deficiency. Without the recommendation of a specialist, the drug should not be given to sick animals or pregnant females.

Reviews about the drug
The most important thing: our fur has stopped coming out! Anyone who has encountered this problem will understand me. Shedding naturally, but sometimes you have to grab the vacuum cleaner both morning and evening. The result was noticeable literally 5 days after the start of treatment. Pieces of black fur left the apartment. Cherry was never six dim, but still improved a little.

I have 4 cats living at home, all picked up from the street. Anyone who has picked up cats from the street will understand me. These are animals with a lot of problems. One of them is a lack of vitamins, which primarily affect the animal’s coat. The last cat I picked up was just something, you stroke it, and your whole hand, clothes and everything around it was covered in fur, it even flew through the air. In the vet. clinics prescribed brewer's yeast (tablets that the cat simply won't eat, they need to be crushed, then mixed, and so on. It's a hassle, but in the end - zero results!). Once I got into a conversation with a salesperson at a pet store, and she advised me to take these vitamins for 80 rubles! I bought them with disbelief and a complete lack of hope. I still thank this woman with all my heart, because these drops helped! Now the cat has grown up, has become very fluffy, and when you pet it, there is no hair everywhere. I stopped running around the apartment with a rag and a vacuum cleaner!

In the fall, a 6-7 month old kitten was brought into the house, skinny, with a bunch of external and internal parasites. As they say - washed, cleaned... Got rid of parasites. I started gaining weight. And everything seemed fine, but he really began to like all sorts of wires. And don’t just play with a string. He chewed them with particular cruelty, especially the chargers. They were afraid that it would eat the wires from the new computer. On the Internet they recommended Antigryzin and some vitamins containing iron. We bought Antigryzin (a very smelly thing) and drops in the food Helavit S. It contains a lot of vitamins necessary for the health of the cat. Every day they dripped into the food according to the instructions. The cat ate calmly, as there was no smell. Our efforts didn’t take long and the cat stopped looking for the wires. The only downside is the dispenser. Instead of the prescribed 5 drops, 6–7 were poured out.
