I have an almost 8 month old Siamese mix. She was a rescue from the shelter and was previously a stray. I've had her since she was 4 months old. At first, she didn't seem to shed a lot but the past 2 months have been horrible. I have a Furminator comb and I'm surprised she hasn't gone bald with all the hair that comes off. She has no health issues other than possible feline herpes for which she gets 500 mg of Lysine daily to help prevent bad flare ups. She is spayed. I've read that wet food is best but I need a kibble to leave out for her which she eats during the night. I also need the kibble for times where I have to go out of town and there are schedule conflicts so I want to know she has food available at all times. She never overeats. I can't afford a diet of all premium quality wet food so I'm looking for sales and am doing a combo of both qualities of food. She only likes pate style wet food. Does wet food help with shedding and does diet really make a difference in the amount of shedding? I already add some Grizzly Salmon oil to her food.
Which kibbles are highest in Omegas and fat that might help her skin and coat? I've read that Nutro indoor Whitefish/Brown Rice could possibly help excess shedding due to the higher Omegas but just wondering what might be comparable but better quality. I'm going to shave her down for now to help keep things a little more minimized.
