There are several options to remedy cat dandruff, but you have to know what caused it in the first place. If parasite infestation is the root of the issue, shampoos with anti-bug chemicals will do the trick. If the cat dandruff is from bacterial skin infections aggravated by your cat’s constant scratching, oral medicine may be necessary.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to rule out the possibility of more severe conditions. If your cat has dandruff because it can’t use its tongue to clean other areas of its body, focus on a diet designed to help felines lose weight. It’s also possible that there’s no health issue at all. Perhaps you need to spend more time brushing your cat’s fur to avoid tangles that irritate the skin.
You can seek the help of professionals regarding proper grooming for your cat. Several shops offer a list of services, from nail clipping to a complete bath. Many of us don’t have the time to do it or are unsure how to do it right. But that’s not an acceptable reason to deprive our cats of the care and pampering they deserve.
Any problem affecting your pet’s skin and/or hair coat should require a visit to your local pet clinic Kerrville TX.
