Hair loss is common in cats, and there are several potential reasons for it. Here are some of the most common: allergies (food, pollen, flea bites, etc.), parasites (fleas, ticks, mites), bacterial and fungal infections (ringworm), hormonal imbalances (hyperthyroidism) , nutritional deficiencies (deficiencies in B vitamins, amino acids), stress and anxiety.
Here are some general tips to help you combat hair loss in your cat:
- Consult your veterinarian: Schedule a visit to the veterinarian to determine the underlying cause of the hair loss. There can be multiple reasons, and each of them has its solutions.
- Control parasites: Protect your cat from fleas, ticks and other parasites with regular grooming and the use of preventative antiparasitics recommended by your veterinarian.
- Maintain a healthy diet: Make sure your cat receives a balanced and nutritious diet appropriate for its age, breed and health status.
- Adjust its diet: your cat may have an increased need for certain nutrients that promote hair growth and maintenance, as well as perfectly healthy skin. Ask your veterinarian for advice: Treatsy Skin & Coat in the form of treats is a concentrate of active ingredients scientifically proven to maintain healthy skin, replenish the epidermis and promote a soft, shiny coat. There are also Treatsy Skin & Coat functional oils, which contain more than 40% Omega-3, helping to fight inflammation in the skin and promoting the regrowth of quality hair.
- Be vigilant about the environment around your cat: minimize exposure to potential allergens or irritants in your furball’s environment.
- Help your cat reduce stress: provide him with a comfortable, stress-free environment. Share playtime, strengthen your bond by making him happy. You can, for example, offer him some Treatsy treats, to strengthen your bond and his emotional well-being.
