Would this help stop mites on guinea pigs
Answer by • Mar 23, 2019
This supplement improves skin and coat health, but will not treat mites.
My guinea pig, Oreo, loves these Skin & Coat tablets. They have really helped her skin & coat. My Veterinarian told me that Oreo has some of the softest pads on her feet that they've ever seen. I highly recommend these tablets for your guinea pig care. :)

Great quality!
I LOVE the ingredients in these! They seem to be very natural and helps support my piggies' skin and coat. I also use the Natural Science Vitamin C which I would give ten stars if I could. The only thing that I don't love about these is that my guinea pigs don't eat them right away like they do with the Vitamin C ones. This just makes it difficult to ensure that they each get one and are not stealing from the others! This could just be my piggies' preferences though! Would recommend!

It did make a difference
At the recommendation of my rabbit's veterinarian I ordered and tried this product to help with her aging fur and dry spots at the base of her ears. Well! It really did make a difference and her coat is again beautifully glossy, soft, and the dry spots are gone. She is fed a proper diet but nutritionally benefited from this supplement.

Good treat
I have three guinea pigs and all three will eat these treats, unlike many other GP treats I have tried. I have one long-haired Peruvian piggie, so I like to give him this supplement. They all know when I clean out there enclosures, everyone gets a treat under their castle after I am done, and they gobble these cookies up in no time.

not sure if they work, but the buns love them...
I proceeded to give my buns the desired "dose" of goodies, and I can't tell if they're doing what they're supposed to. They still itch and scratch, but not as often as they used to. I'm sure me putting them outside to play and bringing them back in at night for their safety isn't helping their skin any, but they both gobble these treatos up, none the less.

Helps her skin!
I got these supplements about 2 months ago because during my bunny’s molting season she got dry skin and was itching time to time, after giving these to her for about a week she stopped itching and her skin is no longer dry! I also noticed that her coat is much more shiny but I don’t see a HUGE difference in the coat, just the skin. I still have about 20 left and I give it to her if she is itching and it goes away within 30 minutes! I recommend this to someone with a pet with itchy skin during molting season! :)

I believe it works
I bought these for my rabbits because their ears had lost some hair and looked flakey. Although their hair started to grow back before I got my hands on these I believe they do help bc I feel like I’ve noticed their coats are shiny and a lot softer!

Rabbit Loves Them!
My boy loves the Skin & Coat supplement - he's memorized what time he gets the supplement and is always waiting at the door for it. Gobbles them right up!
