In the winter or dry climates, some cats or other pets get dry skin and dandruff can develop. There are ways to keep your cat dandruff-free throughout the entire year in all types of climes.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    In drier weather, use a humidifier in the part of your home in which your cat spends the most time. Use for a few hours a day, not continuously. Constant moisture may produce mold.

  2. Step 2

    Gently brush or comb your cat to stimulate the skin and distribute the oils.

  3. Step 3

    Feed your cat a special cat food blend for a healthy coat. Or feed your cat canned food 2 or 3 times a week, which is moister and has more fat.

  4. Step 4

    Buy a special skim moisturizer sold at pet stores and apply as instructed.

Tips & Warnings
