For cats, grooming is instinctive—but even the most fastidious feline can suffer from flaky skin, dull fur, or excessive shedding. Often, the root cause lies in nutrition.

Here’s a breakdown of nutrients that help maintain your cat’s skin and coat from the inside.

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA)

• Why They Matter : Reduce inflammation, especially in allergy-prone cats.

• Top Sources : Sardines, salmon oil, anchovy-based supplements.

• Visible Result : Less scratching, glossier coat, better hydration.

2. Biotin (Vitamin B7)

• Why It Matters : Essential for keratin synthesis and fur density.

• Top Sources : Fortified cat foods, liver, supplements.

• Visible Result : Less shedding, smoother fur texture.

3. Vitamin E

• Why It Matters : Protects skin cells and supports immune health.

• Top Sources : Plant oils, nuts (in pet-safe form), formulated treats.

• Visible Result : Better resistance to dryness and wounds.

4. Zinc

• Why It Matters : Supports skin elasticity and moisture retention.

• Top Sources : Meat, pumpkin seeds, tailored cat supplements.

• Visible Result : Hydrated skin, healthier paw pads, fewer flakes.

Cats can be picky eaters, so palatable supplements or fortified wet foods work best. Avoid over-supplementation—stick to vet-recommended dosages.
