Cats (and dogs) should benefit from regular daily use of SA-37 either as a tablet or powder mixed with their food.

It helps to ensure that they get a correctly balanced supply of the essential nutrients needed to keep them in good condition, with handsome coats and healthy skins.

My vet recommended this stuff to me and it is fantastic. Moss no longer has problems with dandruff. You only need to mix a 1/4 - 1/2 a teaspoon in with the cats food once a day. It can also be used with other animals like birds and reptiles!!

I would try a food that contains Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, or else supplement with them (fish oil capsules; you just squeeze the oil over their food). Dandruff can also be caused by a food allergy. Jamie got dandruff until I stopped giving foods that contained more than a trace of dried beet pulp.

I'd definitely suggest the fish oil before attempting to bathe your cat if you havent bathed your cat before.... Oliver gets regular baths with a soothing kitty shampoo and has no dandruff problems! I *think* they also sell sprays and/or waterless shampoos that are supposed to help with dandruff... it's best to treat it from the inside too though

before you try anything I would look at what kind of food your cat is eating. The only cats I have seen with bad dandruff ate crap food (Store brand stuff). If this is the case I would switch to a better quality food (I use science diet natures best dry and recently started feeding Blue Spa Wet food which they seem to love). If you are already feeding high quality then its time to try other suggestions.

What if my other kitties and the one with dandruff eat out of the same bowl?
