Sometimes cat owners notice several white flakes on their cat's fur.
If their number is small, then there is no reason to worry - the epidermis, or top layer of skin, is renewed in all animals.
You should be wary in case of excessive epidermal death, which may be accompanied by itching, redness, greasy to the touch fur and other symptoms.
To avoid having to deal with this problem, learn about the possible causes of dandruff in cats.
First of all, trouble can arise due to an incorrectly selected diet, when the pet lacks vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and other elements.
Dandruff is caused by allergies. The reaction may be to food, household chemicals, medications, pollen, etc.
In addition, you should not write off the inappropriate products that you use in the process of grooming your pet's fur and skin.
Other causes include excess weight, which is often accompanied by various diseases, as well as dry air and insufficient humidity, which makes the skin drier and rougher.
Finally, dandruff can also occur when a cat gets sunburned or is sick. In any case, it wouldn't hurt to show the animal to the vet.
