Seasonal changes have a much greater affect on your companion animal’s health than you might realize.

As we head into the fall and winter, most of us will be cranking up the heat. Unfortunately, heated homes are often very dry, which can lead to dryer skin. Pervasive dryness causes skin cells to die at an accelerated rate. When you see dandruff, which is the sloughing off of clumps of dead skin cells, this is symptomatic of too-dry skin. The hair of the coat also dries out, leading to increased shedding.

To combat pervasive dryness, consider using a humidifier during the months that you use central heat. Humidifiers, which are widely available, can remedy this problem quickly and relatively inexpensively. The use of a humidifier will not only help the skin and coat of your companion animal, it could help to improve the health of your skin, too.

As we have mentioned in previous newsletters, nutritious foods like Life’s Abundance and Instinctive Choice can go a long way to improving the health of the coat and the skin, which is the body’s largest organ. In fact, the majority of the protein content cats eat goes to help support the skin and coat – over 90%. Adding a nutritional daily supplement like Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement to your cat’s diet can also provide much needed aid in keeping the coat lustrous and the skin pliable and healthy, all winter long.
