Cat shedding occurs seasonally or may be associated with a lack of vitamins and microelements.
The pet may reach this state due to improper care and developing diseases.
Veterinary Science and Life talks about how to minimize the consequences of shedding, citing international cat grooming expert Nadezhda Rumyantseva.
Reasons
1. If the hair falls out constantly and in large quantities, which may be associated with the use of hair care products - oils, shampoos, sprays or lotions, you need to replace these products.
2. Hair loss can be caused by dry air. In winter, heating devices dry out the air. In summer, air conditioning can cause damage. The problem can be solved by humidifying the air.
3. The problem may be related to the diet. It is recommended to choose food from special lines. Mixed feeding will have to be excluded.
What not to do
People often recommend a haircut, citing the fact that a person's hair grows better after this. But it won't make the cat feel any better.
You should not try to remove hair by brushing it daily.
The problem can be solved in a comprehensive manner with the help of professional advice.
Let's not forget that pets are bathed once every 3-4 months, and during the period of active shedding once every 1-2 weeks with shampoo and conditioner.
