Cats can suffer from a dry and dull hair coat. Here are some ways to restore the luster of your kitty’s dry coat.

Start by checking your kitty’s diet. Cats have higher protein requirements compared to dogs. To ensure that your kitty receives sufficient nutrients for growth and body maintenance, your best bet is to consult your veterinarian for recommendations. You can also supplement your cat’s diet with fish oils which are high in fatty acids.

In cases where dry coat has been attributed to allergies, your veterinarian may help you pinpoint the allergen by putting your cat on an elimination diet. Most food-borne allergies are caused by a diet which is high in grains. If you are already using a high quality cat food and you are still not getting desired results, try switching to another cat food brand or bring your cat to your Carlisle vet for a thorough checkup and diagnosis.
