Bad Dandruff

My oldest cat Kit Kat has very bad dandruff, What can I do to make it stop?

My Mom and I brush and comb her almost everyday but it does not seem to help! What can I apply on her to make it stop. A dandruff shampoo is out of the question because giving her a bath is like sarting a war. She is 8 years old by the way.

To address the problem bathing would be best. But if kitty hates a bath you can try the *waterless* shampoos that are sold Or you could try some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. spray it on comb it through and if possible blow dry the kitty.

Her dandruff is a result of something missing in her diet. Try adding some oil. My cats like Olive oil the best. It is easy to add to canned food a little more difficult when you only feed dry. Start with a teaspoon and work from there. Too much can cause diarrhea. But her skin is extraordinary dry so oil is your best bet. You should see results in a few weeks. Perhaps you should consider upgrading her brand of food.

Topically, on her really dry spots, put Olive Oil directly to the problem areas just a little and rub it into the skin.

What Causes Dandruff?

There is much myth in mainstream society as to what actually causes dandruff, many people think its due to access oil on the scalp, but this couldn't be more far from the truth as its usually a lack of oil that can cause it. I'm going to outline for you the key causes to dandruff so that you can attack dandruff at the root of the problem and perhaps stop it from even occurring in the first place. This is not a cure, but rather a measure to stop it before it occurs.

The first cause of dandruff can be due to a bad diet, when you constantly take in bad foods that are full of saturated fats and oils you can do things to your skin which make dandruff more prone to arising. This is due to a toxic condition developed from eating these types of foods, and these bad foods can also weaken your vitality which is also a breeding ground for dandruff.

Secondly you may have an emotional cause to your dandruff, it has been noted that when someone is in scenarios of extreme stress then dandruff is more likely to develop. Dandruff can also develop due to some harsh shampoos that are full of nasty chemicals, or it can develop due to exposure to excess cold or to excess exhaustion.

I reccomend due to some harsh anti-dandruff shampoos actually making the problem worse that you try home remedies. There are many resources on the web displaying ingreidents for home remedies and they will save you a lot of money.
