What to do if your cat sheds a lot: brushing doesn't always help

A cat's seasonal shedding eventually ends, but sometimes problems in the body can delay this process.
Your pet may leave hair everywhere, which will require cleaning furniture, carpets, clothes, and even household appliances after washing.
In such cases, experts do not advise relying solely on combing out excess hair.
When do cats shed?
Usually this phenomenon coincides with the change of seasons.
The intensity of hair loss may depend on the breed, age, health, and also on the feeding and grooming of the pet.
What to do
Cat owners should remember that there are other procedures besides brushing.
Also, do not forget that hair that gets into the cat's stomach when it washes itself is not digested.
You can get rid of excess hair by bathing your cat using a special shampoo.
But that's not the main thing.
Many experts agree that with intense and prolonged shedding it is necessary to adjust the diet.
In other words, you need to choose food that would provide the animal’s body with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
To sum up, it should be noted that the problem can only be solved in a comprehensive manner and not without the intervention of a veterinarian.
