Vitamins for cats from hair loss

In many families, a cat is a full member of the family. Everyone loves her, strokes and treats with various delicacies. It would seem that a cat brings joy to the house, but sometimes problems arise. Probably, every pet owner has encountered the problem of hair loss in a cat. Of course, this problem is eliminated by daily cleaning the house and combing the hair of a pet several times a day. But such measures are temporary. Therefore, it is worthwhile to find out the essence and cause of hair loss.

Shedding as a cause of hair loss

Shedding is a process of gradual loss by a pet of its coat. It is molting that underlies the problem that almost all cat owners face. Its onset sometimes serves as the first sign of a cat's disease. But serious or not, it can be established only by a specialist. The origin of molting is different:

1. From time to time, cats gradually lose the hairs of the old coat, and new hair replaces them. This process of rebirth occurs in pets daily.
2. An absolutely healthy cat loses its hair periodically, several times a year. In spring, the molting process helps the animal to prepare for the summer period, having lost excess hair, it is ready for hot days. And in the fall, the reverse process, the animal builds up wool, prepares for winter frosts. With good pet care, the molting period is from one to two months. If you do not follow the animal, then the process may stretch.
3. The coat may lose its density in case of reduced animal immunity. This can happen after any illness suffered by a pet, when his body is most in need of useful elements. If you do not take certain measures, the animal will lose part of its coat.
4. Sometimes cats are prone to allergic reactions to certain types of products, or they are affected by some kind of irritating environmental factors, which reduces the production of immunity. As a result, hair loss occurs.
5. Not all pet owners provide them with the right daily ration. An unbalanced diet is a lack of nutritious mineral substances, which leads to the destruction of the hair follicle and the loss of wool.
6. Hair loss can occur due to the presence of fungus or parasites of the skin in tailed pets. Under the influence of water-eaters and lice-eater, stamps of trichophytosis fungi and microsporia, cats quickly begin to lose their hair in large quantities.
7. Animals, like humans, can have hormonal disruptions. The inclusion of hormonal agents in the pet’s diet leads to malfunctions of the endocrine system of the body and pancreas. Disturbances in the work of organs, in turn, have an effect on the growth of the coat.

Contacting a veterinary clinic will help to understand the origin of the molt and in case of illness to establish the cause. The most common cause is a deficiency of vitamins due to improper daily feeding diets. In this regard, pet owners are reviewing the menu and include a complex of vitamins in the diet.
