Hello , i tried everything for my cat she shed hair every day , she only likes the fish cat food and we always gave her gourmet fish with shrimp, i tried her 3 weeks ago with whiskers fish with jelly food the 1+ year old and her coat has gone nice and shiny and soft and her hairs have stopped falling out. Only took 3 weeks iam so happy i can stroke her more now. I always buy the whiskers food now

I adopted two 6 month old kittens, four months apart. I started them both on a combination of commercial can and raw chicken, as they acclimated and I learned more about feline nutrition--making the complete transformation to the raw prey model. I added chopped, fresh, raw chicken necks for 10% bone requirement, they love munching on--aiding in strong jaws and teeth, and fresh chicken livers to make sure they get ample taurine. Both inexpensive, bringing down the cost of raw comparable to can, but exponentially healthier. True to all other raw benefit claims, the litter does not stink, less solid poo--both boys are very alert/active, play, chase and tussle with excellent muscle tone. Not only do they love their homemade chow--they practically inhale it, both cat's coats are absolutely luminous with a lacquer shine and soft as silk. To my surprise, when hot weather came, shedding was minimal and only lasted a few weeks--confirming your advice, petting, cuddling them is a total joy!

[@yanybanany]

do u think this would work on every cat? mine is very food motivated and would quite literally kill me if i didnt give him the treat off my hand lol how does one transition from dry foods to that kind of diet? i rly want the best for my cat for an affordable price. also what else do u feed them other than that?

[@prestige_123]

The problem is that it just doesn't swipe away 😩, the fur literally penetrates the fabric to the point where you kinda gotta pull it out piece by piece

[@mgailqster]

Question 2: perhaps I should have asked how to rate a canned cat food for quality. thanks

[@quinnbeasley94]

what was question 1?

[@TazHall]

I appreciate you suggesting more gentle and natural remedies! Transitioning them off artificial food helped a LOT. Raw diet all the way (with a couple supplements). Canned food still has additives and preservatives no matter how natural they claim to be. I've been 2 years raw diet (muscle/organ meat/little raw fish) + l-lysine for immune boost. I'm always researching for improvement. I put a drop of apple cider on the meat every now and then. I sometimes serve canned salmon, sprat or sardines (washed of brine) and a little water and cider vinegar added for a "renal detox." Chicken hearts or strips of beef heart for snack. I occasionally drip a little olive oil in their food for their fur and furballs. Not too often since olive oil is plant-based.

[@lilliehalumi8770]

One thing that really gets on my nerves is people who serve cats canned food right from the can. The sharp edges worry me because the cat will lick those edges to get all the food. I have never and will never do that to my cats. They each have their own ceramic bowls - never plastic - and the bowls are washed thoroughly by hand when they have finished. I also feed high quality grain free dry and canned foods. They all get brushed at least once a day. I also have a Drinkwell Water fountain that I clean regularly and change the filters once a month.

Our cat sheds so much to the point that we use a hair brush daily and end up with a softball sized ball of hair that's dense. We'll try a much better food. The only weird thing is we have 2 cats and only 1 of them shed and we feed them the exact same diet.

I do all those things except the Omega-3 supplements. I suspect that the problem with cat shedding that I have is because I live in the desert in southern Arizona. The air is so dry, people and animals alike have a harder time with dry skin. I have an orange tabby like the cat in the video and my orange boy sheds so much.

I'm just discovering you and your channel. Question 1: Where would I buy Omega 3 fish oil that's suitable for my cat. Is it just the human variety? I heard you say 500-1000 mg per day. How is best to administer? Question 2: Can you recommend an affordable, high quality wet cat food that they'll continue to eat? They love fancy feast, but I'm guessing that's not high qual, right? I figure changing the diet of my 3 cats is going to be key to improving their coats. (They are all on wellness plans with Banfield Pet Hospital in my town, and have no diagnosed issues, tho' are 9 yrs old.) Thanks much!!

Best to give as a capsule or mix with canned food.

Awesome information! 😍 Can we use our type fish oil, like the one I should be taking? 🤔 how can I easily remove mats that are very close to the skin? I got a 6 year old male kitty from this young woman yesterday and found a few mats on him after he came out from hiding and actually let me pet him. I'd hate to have to have them shaved. He is a very skiddish, like nervous or scared. When arriving yesterday he ran and hid but only for about half an hour seems he will run and hide when I get up and move around too. I began calling his given name and he showed up and it seems he has warmed up to me really fast 😃 I started to pet him on his head and he was rubbing his head all over my hand pushing his head hard into my hand lol I can tell he loves attention. Sadly he was very unkempt beautiful boy with medium fur that looks like he needs a bath and his nails are catching on everything ☹ I don't want to traumatize him any further, with his new environment here now and I'll be moving in less than 10 days so he'll be moved around again ☹ this I didn't expect he was a rescue of sorts that needed to get out of where he was quickly, from what I understood much too noisy and 4 little hands grabbing at him and 4 little feet chasing him around. He needed some rest some quiet so I took him in... I do plan on taking him to a local Veterinarian I would have just used his own seeing I have some of his records the paperwork says last shots were dated 2016. He is from a different city so im setting up an appointment here in town any advice in the meantime would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@denisedaly2307]

Many thanks for all your previous videos Dr. Jones, I am a great fan. I do have a question that's been annoying me a while and I have not made progress. My mother has 3 adult spayed& neutered cats that all behave very well together and are very friendly. However, I introduced an adult spayed female a few months ago that used to be feral. Two of the other 3 have been massively aggressive and attacking towards her and things have not settled down. She is terrified of them even though she is physically stronger. I really don't know what to do at this stage as she should be fending off much smaller cats than her. I don't like seeing her bullied like this. What do you think?

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Good question-Separate their resources. Reduce competition between the cats by providing multiple, identical food bowls, beds and litter boxes in different areas of your house.Provide additional perches. More hiding spots and perches will allow your cats to space themselves out as they prefer.Try pheromones. You can purchase a product that mimics a natural cat odor (which humans can’t smell), that may reduce tensions. Use a diffuser while the aggression issue is being resolved.

[@denisedaly2307]

Ok great, I need to give that a go. I don't think it comes down to resources as such as they all have their feeding and sleeping spots, (and my mother spoils them with treats so much). My mother is retired and at home so the cats are her life. The other 3 cats are two females and a male, the male being completely passive and just a bundle of love. The other two females are very tolerant and affectionate towards each other but it seems they are jealous towards this new female. So I need to try pheromones you think. I'll definitely give that a go to try calm them. I need to look online about them. Thanks so much for great advice Dr. Jones, I'll let you know how it goes!! Thanks :)

I can’t help but think the cat would like to clean themselves with their hair tasting like peppermint.

Hi I'm a new to your videos and advice & don't know if you've already covered the issue I need advice with . My 12 1/2 year old cat Pebbles has never had kittens and she's a very vocal needy puss cat . Through a spinal injury Iv had to take early retirement so luckily for Pebbles she's got me 24/7 which she loves . However she has always been a bit nervous . I have another cat and have been feeding several strays for 5 years plus . So there's nothing that's different or anything new as a potential threat to arrive in her life . Last year she started over grooIng herself till her hind legs were almost bald . A trip to our vets showed no underlying illness . A steroid injection seemed to sort her out and regrowth began . However exactly a year later she's over grooming with vengeance . Iv seen her yanking clumps of fur out with her teeth . Which in turn she's being sick bringing up fur balls almost every 1-2 days . Another steroid injection was given by the same vet 6 wks ago . This time so far it's had no effect on her problem which seems to be worse if anything . I'm desperate to help her out of this bad habit cycle . She has an excellent diet of wet cat foods dry foods fresh water constantly and fresh chicken . She has no joint issues cause she still rips riot up down the stairs up walls on high furniture i:e cabin beds wardrobes with one easy leap . She's access to the outside when ever she likes too. This nightly play is something she's always done . She loves me to just watch whilst she bombs up 13 stairs a lap round the bedroom back down stairs skids the full length of the kitchen then back up the stairs to repeat it all. She looks at me as if to ask aren't I fast mom watch me watch me. Iv also been using 2 fellaway plug ins for the last 6-7 months or so . Basically i suppose I'm asking what else could be the answer to end this cycle of over grooming . I'm scared someone will think she's a stray and also I'm worried she will be freezing cold when she goes out with her little bald hind legs looking like little chicken wings bless her . I find it distressing to watch when she's yanking chunks of fur out . Iv tried to distract her but she just hides and continues. I know cats usually do this sort of thing on the sly when no one sees. She's not bothered on who sees her . She will converse with myself ,1 of my 2 daughters or my husband for hours so has so much interaction too . So where am I failing / how can I help her without more visits to the vets . Unless you advise the vets is a must . Thankyou desperate animal lover

hi Doc. My cat seems to no longer wants to eat wet food and prefers the kibbles. I tried offering different types of wet food and he just takes little bites and leaves it. He has no problem with drinking his water though, he loves drinking and even plans with his little water fountain which is adorable. Any advise to get him to eat wet food more?

[@tanyawieczorek6603]

Maybe withdraw the dry food for a few hours so he gets hungry?

[@yanybanany]

@@tanyawieczorek6603 maybe mix wet food and a bit of dry food?

[@realpristine]

When I leave the house for a weekend, I come home to so much cat hair😵‍💫 seems as though he sheds more when he’s stressed

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Yes, generally for most cats

[@QcMaggie]

I didn't know that you could use that brush once a day to reduce those hairs. Ive been doing it once a week and scared to do it more often. Thank you so much!! As of the cans food, 2 weeks ago i started introducing him those and only giving it once every few days and he loves it :) great video!! Random note: he looks like the actor paul rudd (ant man)

[@VeterinarySecrets]

So glad the video helped

[@ShinFahima]

Any good quality canned catfood anyone wanna recommend? :D I tried Fancy Feast and my little dude got really sick for the first time in like ten years, so I'm trying to really watch what he eats now.

[@fehyndana7725]

Unfortunately my cats get diarrhea from fish oil :/ Any other ideas?

[@christapina4416]

Which comb was that?

[@jaedo71]

I feed my cat Hills MD kibble for his glucose management. I suppose I could get a wet version. He has bad diabetes.

[@fineur1]

DR. J, What about dogs?

[@a.a.8005]

Mishah Elle yesssss! i have a frenchie and she sheds unlike anything i have ever EVER seen. I get splinters D:

[@denisedaly2307]

Same as. Hydration and fish oils help a lot for coat health and other benefits .

[@fineur1]

Denise Daly She drinks a lot and takes fish oil and flax oil already

[@VeterinarySecrets]

I have a few videos on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n525ZIVtp8mMn5o

I think you'll find that 'moulting' is a natural way of changing coats for summer & winter?

[@nickyjadee2519]

I need help my cats have 6 water bowls in all room and have small portions of wet can cat food and buiscuts upstairs and downstairs freely to eat anytime. My cat Charlie's a old boy and he's shedding like chunks but still has hair and I can't brush him proply as he's got one bad leg with no muscle and has pins in it from an accident 5 years ago and he doesn't allow picking up and runs away if u try and a bath would be out of the question. He has weepy eye and poor grooming skills. What should I do.

[@Ohkeh640]

How do I get my white cats paws white again? Wash with cat shampoo?
