Shiny cat fur | The right food makes the difference

Your cat's coat is shaggy and greasy and you're wondering what you can do to give your cat a shiny, beautiful coat? Did you know that a healthy and shiny coat is not only important for its appearance? Dr. Anna Mitura explains.

1. Healthy skin & shiny coat: Not only important for the appearance

Healthy skin and a shiny coat are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also an important indicator of a cat's health. Well cared for skin and a healthy coat can help prevent skin problems and promote a cat's well-being.

The skin is the first line of defence against external influences such as bacteria and allergens. An intact skin barrier is crucial for protection against infections and skin irritations. A shiny coat not only indicates that the skin is healthy, but also supports the regulation of body temperature and the absorption of vitamins through sunlight.

2. What you can do: The right diet

A balanced diet is crucial to positively influence the skin and coat. Hair & Skin food for cats is specially formulated to support skin health and promote a shiny coat. It often contains specific ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and can strengthen the skin barrier.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that can improve skin health and coat growth. Fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which have anti-inflammatory effects and contribute to skin health. Flaxseed oil is a plant-based alternative that is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can help moisturise the skin.
Yeasts are another important component in Hair & Skin food. They contain B vitamins and other nutrients that can promote the growth of healthy skin cells and help improve coat quality. The combination of these ingredients in a balanced ratio supports skin elasticity, reduces the risk of skin problems and ensures a shiny, healthy coat.
