As a rule, a cat takes care of its fur on its own. In this article, we will tell you in what cases you need to help your pet.
How to properly care for a cat's fur
The secret to a cat's silken sheen lies in a combination of diet, grooming, and overall care.
For smooth coat and healthy skin, it is important to choose foods rich in B vitamins and vitamin A.
These are beef liver, meat, dairy products, egg yolks, sea fish liver, salmon.
Cats are self-cleaning creatures, but an occasional bath can help remove dirt and excess oils that brushing can't tackle.
Use a cat-specific shampoo and follow with a thorough rinse to avoid residue that can dull the fur.
If the cat has no or little undercoat, you can use a silicone mitt or brush to comb out, which removes excess hair and massages the skin.
A brush with natural bristles or a comb with blunt teeth are also good for combing.
The most important thing is not to injure your pet’s skin, because cats have much more delicate skin than, for example, humans.
How to moisturize your cat's fur
To moisturize your cat's skin, you can use a moisturizing oil or lotion designed specifically for cats.
These products normalize sebum production and do not dry out the skin.
In addition, conditioner after bathing makes the cat's coat shiny and nourished.
The degreasing paste deeply cleanses the hair and prepares it for intensive moisturizing.
Antistatic for cats prevents the formation of tangles.
If your cat has coat or skin problems, it is important to seek advice from your veterinarian.
It may be necessary to balance your pet's diet. In addition, the doctor, if necessary, will prescribe vitamins, ointments or moisturizing gels for the animal.
