Does anyone have a suggestion for curing a mild case of kitty dandruff? My youngest cat, a recent adoptee from the local shelter, has a few embarassing flakes that haven't gone away in the two months since she joined our family.
She is combed regularly and eats "healthy" catfood (human grade, no by-products). She has very short fur which is glossy and healthy. What's up with the dandruff?
Thanks for any suggestions!

This is a reply to # 73,475Dry skin? Maybe add some lipoderm or fatty acids to her food...I know, cats are so picky... I was told once that I can bathe my pets in human dandruff shampoo such as head n shoulders for dry itchy skin.

MoreThis is a reply to # 73,475If it's a fatty acid issue, flaxseed oil added to food works great. I give a 1/2 teaspoon per day to 10lb cat. I started her off with 1 teaspoon for about 3 days. Just remember to keep the oil refridgerated.

This is a reply to # 73,478Do you add the flaxseed to her food and does she eat it okay...my cats are so finicky. Or, do you squeeze it in with a dropper? I have one cat that refuses to drink anything except the water from the fish tank. :-)
Healthy pets are supplemented!

This is a reply to # 73,478How do you guys feed flax oil to your cats? When I tried to give it to mine for the first time (and the last) I though I poisoned and almost killed them. Now I supplement their diet with wild salmon oil (Carlson brand). It provides omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and works great for dandruff. Also I’ve heard the opinion that cat as obligate carnivore is not supposed to eat plant foods and it actually may be harmful for him. Make sense to me.- Re: Kitty Dandruff joelle1296

This is a reply to # 73,480Cats are obligate carnivores but they can have plant foods. Most of their diet should be meat. Some cats like to snack on grasses like wheat or barley. My cat stays indoors; but if your cat eats a bird or mouse, your cat's prey may have undigested plant foods in its system.
And my cat can be finicky too, but she likes the flaxseed oil. She gets canned food for dinner, so I just mix it in.
