A glossy coat and healthy skin aren’t just about looking good — they’re signs of a pet that’s thriving inside and out. Whether you have a fluffy Persian or a sleek Doberman, regular care is essential to prevent dryness, irritation, and skin-related diseases.   The health of your dog or cat’s skin and coat is influenced by multiple factors: diet, grooming habits, environment, and even allergies. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, often found in quality pet food or supplements, play a huge role in keeping fur soft and skin moisturized. Poor nutrition, on the other hand, often leads to dull coats and flaky skin.   Routine grooming helps remove dead hair, distributes natural oils, and allows you to catch early signs of skin problems like hot spots, rashes, or parasites. Dogs generally need baths every 2–4 weeks depending on breed and activity level, while cats (especially long-haired ones) benefit from brushing several times a week — even if they groom themselves.   If you notice excessive itching, redness, bald patches, or a greasy, smelly coat, don’t ignore it. These could be signs of allergies, fungal infections, or underlying conditions that need veterinary attention. Early action prevents discomfort and costly treatments later on.   Tips for Healthier Skin & Coat: Feed a high-quality diet rich in Omega-3s (e.g., fish oil). Brush regularly based on coat type — short hair needs less, long hair needs more. Use pet-safe shampoos (avoid human products). Add a humidifier during dry seasons to reduce skin flakiness. Keep up with flea and tick prevention year-round.   Conclusion: Beauty Starts with Health A silky coat and itch-free skin are more than just aesthetic — they’re indicators of a happy, healthy pet. With consistent care, proper nutrition, and a watchful eye, your furry friend can shine from the inside out.   That's why NatureBridge provides daily food specifically for healthy skin and coat.

INDOZONE.ID – A cat's fur is a crucial part of its body. Without fur, a cat would feel cold, look thin, and appear unkempt. Fur on cats serves several purposes: protecting the body, regulating temperature, providing distinctive color, repelling water, shielding against sunlight and rain, protecting the skin, functioning as a sensory tool, providing warmth, preventing infections, and acting as a reservoir for keratin and protein. Here are some ways we can prevent fur loss in cats. Let’s dive in! 1. Bathing Cats Regularly To maintain a cat's cleanliness, it’s important to bathe them regularly. According to the National Cat Groomers of America, cats need to be bathed at least once every 4–6 weeks.To prevent them from getting cold, make sure to bathe cats when the environment is warm, ideally between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.   2. Regularly Brushing a Cat's Fur Brushing a cat’s fur not only prevents hair loss but also helps remove dirt, dead fur, skin flakes, fleas, and oil.Additionally, brushing stimulates blood circulation and improves overall skin health.This activity should be done at least once or twice a week to maintain the cat's health and prevent hair loss.Older cats, in particular, may not be able to groom themselves properly, so brushing their fur can be a great help.   3. Ensuring the Cat Stays Hydrated Water is essential for all living beings, including cats. Just like humans, if a cat doesn’t drink enough water, it can experience dehydration.When dehydrated, certain bodily functions may be disrupted.One area affected is the skin, which can become dry and lead to fur loss.To prevent hair loss, ensure your cat drinks enough water daily.   4. Adjusting Their Diet Diet plays a significant role in the health of any living creature, including cats.Through food, cats receive the nutrients their bodies need. A cat’s fur condition is also influenced by the food it consumes. A diet rich in protein is essential for cats.Protein is the primary nutrient for hair formation. Thus, protein-rich foods are vital for maintaining a cat’s healthy fur. Jerry Xu, the owner of Bridge PetCare, explained that his company’s cat food is made using “freeze-dried” technology, where real meat is frozen at a temperature of -38°C for 26 hours. “With the introduction of NatureBridge Daily Care, we hope pet owners and their beloved pets can live healthier, happier lives, and grow old together,” said Jerry Xu during an event in Jakarta on Thursday (July 25, 2024).   (Source: https://life.indozone.id/news/434907981/bulu-kucing-peliharaan-rontok-dan-alami-sulit-buang-air-kecil-ini-solusinya)
