Default Kitty skin condition question


Hi. Last December we adopted Callie, a three year old female DSH from the
local animal services people. She had been in their care for about three
months. The vet said she was healthy and she certainly seems to be to us.

Until now, we have never noticed any skin flakes (looks like dandruff) while
petting or brushing her. We like to brush her every few days with a soft
hair brush whether she needs it or not and she likes it too. Lately we have
begun to see what looks like dead skin flakes in her fur as we pet or brush
her. The temperature is warmer now and she is definitely shedding more. Is
this flaking normal or should we be doing something to help alleviate this?
She is not in any discomfort that we can see.

Food is dry only, she just sniffs at wet, at least the last time we tried it
with her. She gets a 50/50 mix of Science Diet (currently Adult Light) and
Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Adult.

TIA for any thoughts on this one.

Rolf.
