How to Keep a Cat Dandruff-Free

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:

• Humidifier
• Water
• Brush or comb
• Cat food
• Moisturizer

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

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

Tips & Warnings

• If in doubt, contact your vet.
