What do skin and coat tell me about my cat's health?

The skin is a special and important sensory organ in many respects. It can be used to perceive touch or temperature. It also has a crucial barrier function and protects the body from environmental influences and germs. Dead hair is shed every day and new hair is constantly being produced. A cat's coat consists of a dense undercoat and long outer hairs.



As a cat mom or dad, you can tell at first glance that your tiger is doing well by its beautiful, shiny coat and smooth, firm skin.

Depending on the breed, there are big differences between the amount, density, length and texture of the coat. Nowadays there are many different cat breeds. In addition to short-haired cats, there are also almost hairless representatives and, of course, long-haired cats. Long-haired cats pay particular attention to a beautifully groomed and shiny coat, while smooth and well-developed skin is particularly important for cats with little hair. Both representatives have special nutritional requirements to maintain their typical breed appearance.

Which food is suitable for improving my cat's coat?

If you want to pay special attention to a beautiful coat and smooth skin, we recommend that you choose a food specifically designed to improve the coat characteristics of cats.
Our Sanabelle Hair & Skin provides valuable nutrients that can ensure an elegant, shiny and supple coat (shiny hair).

The raw materials it contains, such as linseed, fish oil or salmon meal, have particularly high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The body cannot produce these essential fatty acids itself, but needs them to a certain extent.

The increased vitamin A content ensures normal skin cell growth and supports the repair of damaged cells. Vitamin A and zinc also support the absorption and processing of omega fatty acids. Zinc can be absorbed particularly easily in organic form, as amino acid zinc chelate, hydrate. The proportion of this organic form has therefore been increased in Sanabelle Hair and Skin.

The combination of vitamins and trace elements used in Sanabelle Hair & Skin is also suitable for your pedigree cat. In addition to a balanced diet and a sufficient supply of special nutrients, coat care and good health are crucial for a shiny coat and beautiful skin.
