shedding

A good diet and healthy skin in conjunction with frequent brushing will help with excessive shedding... what are you all feeding your cats??

If this is just the normal shedding (not abnormal amounts as was asked earlier), it's true that indoor cats will shed more than cats that go outdoors, ditto for dogs also. This is because the environment in the house is different than in the house and your heater runs in the winter which dries out the hair coat and skin, which can cause more shedding. A good quality food (not generic grocery store brands) will help some. However if that doesn't do the trick try Shed Stop . It's a food additive with Omega 3 oils in it to help keep the oils in the skin and hair. I personally have used this one and we also recommend it at our hospital. I have found with finiky cats that using a dropper and just squirting it in the mouth once a day was easier, but my cats are picky lol. You can buy Shed Stop at some pet stores and sometimes Wal-Mart, and some vets carry it also.

I like the lo shed spray, but you have to do it daily for the first few weeks.
I also bought a new comb, it is called the shed ender(on ebay) and it is the BEST brush I have ever used! Try that out, I promise it is well worth the money!

You guys are all so nice with the shedding advice. I think I might try the Shed Stop for Abby.

But you should know that this thread is over six years old.

It was bumped up by someone who registered today and inserted a web site link into his post....

LOL I never even looked at the date on the original post. Silly me.

I hope the Shed Stop helps your kittes as much as it has helped mine and our clients kitties.
