When cold weather arrives, your cat may experience dry skin or dandruff. Help promote the health of your cat's skin and coat with these three simple steps:
Restore skin health
Supplementing your cat's diet with Omega 3 fatty acids may help to maintain healthy skin, coat, eyes, heart, and brain.
Manage flaky and scaly skin
Colloidal oatmeal and aloe are helpful in promoting soft skin and a shiny coat by hydrating and moisturizing the skin to control flaking.
Feed your cat a healthy diet
Feeding your cat food with low skin allergy-causing ingredients and omega 3 fatty acids will help to keep skin supple.
Groom your cat regularly with the FURminator deShedding Tool to remove dead coat hair and reduce shedding.
