My black and white kitty has what looks like dandruff on her black fur. They're not mites (I've checked!). She doesn't seem to be itchy, and it doesn't look like she has dry skin, but I'm guessing she does. What can I do?
I wouldn't add any medication or supplement to cat food. Sometimes it can cause food aversion. And a cat that won't eat is in trouble.Koshka gets good food and gets brushed regularly, but is still prone to dandruff. I find giving her a dropper full of an omega 3 pet oil once a week, takes care of it. I have to give it by mouth, because she hates it. Most cats like it added to their food.
ooooh where did you buy your salmon oil and how much do you give?I started giving my cats salmon oil with their wet food. They all have wonderful soft shiny fur now. There was only one who had dandruff all the time and I haven't seen any dandruff on her since about 3 days after I started the salmon oil.
There are a lot of different brands out there. I got my first bottle from PawTree on the recommendation of a friend, but it was super expensive. I ended up going with Wild Alaskan salmon oil from Petco, which has worked just as well.ooooh where did you buy your salmon oil and how much do you give?
ahhh thank you! i will try this!There are a lot of different brands out there. I got my first bottle from PawTree on the recommendation of a friend, but it was super expensive. I ended up going with Wild Alaskan salmon oil from Petco, which has worked just as well.
It comes in a squirt bottle and I put one squirt in each dish with their wet food. It's not exact, but comes out to about 1/2 tsp per squirt.
The first month I gave it every day, then backed off to every other day. I'm really happy with all my kitties' coats now, including the ones that looked good before.
