If your cat sheds a lot: what do experts advise?
Pet owners are well aware of what shedding is, but if your cat's shedding is prolonged or unseasonable, you should consider a visit to the veterinarian.
It is quite possible that your pet lacks vitamins and microelements. It is worse if the shedding is associated with a disease.
Cats shed seasonally. This is a regularly recurring, natural process of changing fur. It usually occurs in the spring, less often in the fall. Shedding also occurs after pregnancy and childbirth, - Nadezhda Rumyantseva, an international cat grooming expert, told the publication Veterinary Science and Life.
If a cat sheds constantly, then we can talk about improper care or bathing mistakes.
It is important to remember that when bathing cats, you cannot use shampoos for humans or dogs. Cats are also sensitive to essential oils.
The climate can also influence shedding – dry air in the apartment in winter, and an air conditioner in summer.
What to do
You need to wash the cat well, then comb out the dead fur. And during the period of active shedding, you need to bathe the pet once every 7-14 days, depending on the breed.
Before bathing, you should brush your cat and use a deep cleaning shampoo first, then regular shampoo and conditioner.
Such care at intervals of once every 1-2 months can correct the situation, and the cat will always look well-groomed.
