Three Easy Solutions to Cure Cat Dandruff
Our friends regularly complain of their cat dandruff problems. It’s a problem that affects many cat owners, and if you own a cat, you’ll have to deal with it sooner or later.
But fear not, there is cat dandruff treatment that you can use without spending an expensive journey to the vet, just by looking at the symptoms and environment and taking action based on these symptoms. It is important to confirm first that your problem is not instead cat dander.
A lot of cat dandruff problems have in common 3 factors:
1. The cat dandruff is on the rump or tail and your cat is aged or overweight.
If your pet is overweight or has gained weight suddenly and dandruff on her rump and tail, most likely she’s not able to reach these areas to clean herself. This is also a problem for old cats that lack the mobility to groom themselves.
Just go ahead and brush your cat and you might want to consider grooming her every couple of months. If you decide to bathe your cat, please do not use human shampoos as that might make her skin drier and worsen the condition. Always use a cat shampoo and don’t forget to wash thoroughly as remaining shampoo stuck on her undercoat may only make the situation worse.
2. It’s winter
If your cat only experiences dandruff issues in winter, then it could be the result of the cold and dry weather. Worse of all, most cats like to lie about in the warm comforts of the fireplace, which rapidly dries her skin causing it to flake.
I suggest you take her away from the fireplace regularly and see if the cat dandruff persists. Getting a humidifier would be an excellent idea, both for your kitty and also yourself (we get dry skin too…)
3. The cat dandruff is still around after trying out everything
If none of the above apply, just think, have you got any new furniture lately? A new rug perhaps? See if there are any changes to her environment that she might be sensitive to and try to make the necessary adjustments.
