CATDOLL : Cat's hair is mixed with white dandruff

The reasons and solutions for white dandruff in cat hair loss:

1. Skin is too dry

If the cat's daily living environment is too dry, causing the cat's skin to become dry and flaky, and itchy, causing the cat to scratch, then some dandruff will be produced. Of course, in this case, cats usually shed less dandruff. The owner can try to use a warm towel to help the cat apply the face, and can also add a humidifier to alleviate the cat's dry skin.

2. Skin diseases

Parasitic diseases, bacterial infections and skin diseases caused by pathogens can cause cats to lose hair and have dandruff, and they will also be accompanied by severe itching. The owner can open the cat's hair for inspection. Once the cat is found to have redness on the skin, round or oval ringworm spots on the skin, scarring and other discomforts, it is likely that the cat has a skin disease. At this time, the owner should take the cat to the pet clinic for inspection in time to see what the specific cause is, and then treat it symptomatically.

3. Improper bathing

The pH value of human and cat skin is different. If the owner uses pet-specific shower gel for cats for a long time, it may cause cats to lose hair, have dandruff, and have rough and dull hair. In addition, if the owner bathes the cat frequently, it will also damage the cat's skin surface, causing cats to lose hair and have dandruff. Therefore, it is recommended that owners must use pet-specific shower gel when bathing cats, and do not bathe cats too frequently. It is generally recommended to bathe cats once every 1-2 months.

4. Malnutrition: Lack of nutrients such as vitamins and proteins can lead to problems such as split ends and dry hair. Provide cats with a balanced diet and add nutrients such as vitamins and proteins as appropriate.

5. Dry climate: In a low humidity environment, the skin is prone to dryness and hair is prone to falling off. Use a humidifier to increase the indoor humidity, bathe and comb the cat appropriately, and keep the skin clean.
