To keep a healthy skin and a shiny coat, it is important to regularly brush your cat. Brushing allows you to remove dirt and parasites that could be hiding in its coat and to detect potential injuries. It also helps to remove dead hair, which allows the skin to breathe and stimulates blood flow, therefore boosting hair regrowth. Finally, regularly brushing your companion enables you to untangle the undercoat from the coat, and avoids knots. In certain cases, it may be necessary to cut its knots, or even to shave the coat.
The cat’s own grooming makes baths, to some extent, unnecessary. They help eliminating dead hair, foreign bodies and certain pests. However, in certain cases this is not enough, and you need to find a solution to help with
Certain cats like water and, in that case, you can use an appropriate shampoo. However, this is not true for the majority of cats! Hopefully, you can find alternatives such as dry shampoos or sprays.
Should you need a skin product for your pet, it is necessary to use a product dedicated to cats or dogs. Shampoos for humans, even for babies, are not at all adapted to your cat’s skin.
It is important to accustom your cat to brushing from a very young age in order to make this a pleasant moment for him/her. It needs to be perceived as a moment of complicity between the two of you.
