Remember that this is a symptom reliever. We are passionate about not just treating symptoms but also addressing the underlying problem. If your cat has skin issues, it is important that you get to the root of the cause. Poor quality diets that contain corn, wheat, soy, etc. can commonly cause skin problems in cats. Our feline friends are unable to digest these grains, so they develop sensitivities to these ingredients. Be sure to read the ingredient list in your cat’s food before feeding it to your kitties.
The high amount of carbohydrates in dry kibble foods create inflammation in the body, which can also result in skin issues. Switching your cat to a moisture rich, species appropriate diet can often stop the skin issues in cats completely. The health of the hair follicle is directly proportional to the overall health of your cat. ‘You are what you eat’ holds true for our kitties as well. Feeding a high quality fresh food diet is one of the best decisions we can make for our cats.
