Reviews about the drug

Many pet owners and farmers have already left their reviews after using Vitam. This vitamin-amino acid complex, created for animals, according to many people, has proven effective in the prevention and treatment of pets.

There are now many different vitamin veterinary products available. Based on personal experience, they can recommend Vitam. I often give it to my pets - piglets and calves, when they start to get sick or develop poorly. Every year I give it to adult pigs immediately after the winter period. I also give Vitam to animals with poor appetite or when they have poisoning from low-quality plant foods. After treatment of poisoning, the piglets are already on their feet on the third day. Irina, Voronezh region

If you have pets in the house, then I recommend always keeping Vitam so that the product is at hand. It is a safe medicine. I first bought it when my cat started losing hair. She shed terribly, it was painful to look at the animal. A veterinarian I knew recommended that I buy the drops and I bought them right away. I gave it twice a week for a whole month and it helped. The cat's fur became shiny and very beautiful.
