Cat Dandruff

My 3 yr. old black cat Boris has a dandruff problem...wonder what's good
for cat dandruff.

He doesn't like baths.The last time he had one the vet did it and they
had to knock him out first.
He was really out of it for a while after I got him home...made up my
mind I wouldn't do that to him again.Thanks

What is he eating? I found that when I switched my black cat over
to canned food his dandruff disappeared.

I feed him mostly dry food...Iams...thanks for the tip.I do give him
Sheba once in a while and he loves it.

You know, mine was eating Iams dry only--the hairball
formula.Maybe there is something abnormally drying about
it. But then, canned foods just ensure that cats get more
water. I am not sure that this helps with dandruff but something
sure helped my cat.

I began with Iams canned and it looked so unappetizing that I
then tried others. It was Fancy Feast, believe it or not, that he
liked the best. Happily, I read here that FF has recently
changed its formula and now has meat, fish, or poultry as a
first ingredient instead of byproducts, so it can be considered
a premium cat food.

The other thing about canned is that they just seem to look
forward to it more, though I cannot say I look forward to the
smell of the morning feeding, ugh!

Let us know what happens, if the canned helps or not. I
think this is a common problem in cats but more apparent in
black cats. Good luck!
