Just as with human scalp, a cat’s skin is susceptible to present with dry skin and dandruff. But contrary to the dog, cats are meticulous groomers and don’t accept to be covered by flakes. Observing such signs is often due to an underlying issue. Read more about dry skin in cats here. In any case, having a routine for these cats is essential for their well-being, even if generally speaking these signs are not life-threatening.
Why is it important to have a routine for dry skin?
Cats like cleanliness, especially when it comes to their fur. Having their fur covered by flakes, sometimes being secondarily itchy is really uncomfortable to them and can significantly affect their quality of life. Causes are various and are not always manageable by itself, so that’s why controlling skin hydration and dandruff have to be done with regular care. Here are some reasons why a routine is important for cats with dry skin:
Ensures well-being: By addressing dryness and flakiness, you alleviate discomfort linked to lack of cleanliness, as well as potential itching, promoting a happier, healthier pet. A well-designed routine helps alleviate symptoms and keeps the cat more comfortable.
Prevents complications: Regular care helps monitor skin health, preventing escalation of potential problems like infections and allowing to get medical attention as soon as possible.
Reinforces the bond: Participating in grooming sessions with your cat not only ensures their physical care but also cultivates positive interactions, strengthening the bond between you and your feline friend. These sessions extend beyond mere maintenance, serving as opportunities for bonding, trust-building, and shared enjoyment. The gentle and caring moments during grooming contribute to fostering a positive relationship, enhancing the emotional connection between you and your cat.
What to use for dry skin?
The treatment for dry, flaky skin in cats depends on the underlying cause and involves various approaches:
1. Identification and Treatment of Underlying Causes: Addressing the root cause is crucial for effective management.
2. Topical Products: When cats’ skin is dry and flaky, it usually means that the skin is fragile and would benefit from hydration. Cleaning, nurturing the skin and restoring the skin cell normal cycle are essential to restore the skin’s health and protective function. This can be achieved by applying appropriate topical products, such as DOUXO® S3 SEB. DOUXO® S3 SEB is carefully formulated with hydrating and moisturising ingredients, which allow the skin to return to its normal texture without further irritation and drying. Its seboregulating ingredient, Seboliance also helps regulate sebum production and regulates flakes formation while preventing secondary yeast overgrowth.
3. Regular Grooming: A consistent grooming routine aids in managing dry skin, promoting overall skin health.
4. Dietary Supplements: If necessary, supplementing your cat's diet can support skin health.
What can be a recommended routine for dry, flaky skin?
DOUXO® S3 teams developed a specific patented routine for dry skin in cats, requiring 0 to few shampoos. We recommend ideally to bathe the cat once with DOUXO® S3 SEB Shampoo, to remove dirt, flakes. mechanically and then use DOUXO® S3 SEB Mousse every 2-3 daysfor 3 weeks.
If your cat is reluctant to bath, the first shampoo can be replaced with a mousse. This can be repeated long-term if necessary. The mousse is complementary of the shampoo, bringing the ingredients for a long-lasting contact.
Even though most cats may not enjoy the idea of frequent bathing, we have put together some tips to help you make this as non-stressful as possible - and maybe even an enjoyable experience.
This protocol has been clinically proven and recommended by vets throughout the world.
