One of the main culprits behind dandruff in pets includes climate.<\/p><\/div>\n

The same is true for our pets, which also experience winter skin discomfort. Here\u2019s what you need to know about managing your cat's or dog\u2019s dandruff to get through the itchy season without a hitch!<\/p>\n

The Definition of Dandruff<\/h3>\n

Dandruff is characterized by dry skin cells that have flaked off from the skin\u2019s surface and are now visible. Referred to as \u2018seborrhea\u2019 by veterinarians, dandruff is a naturally occurring cycle, as new skin cells replace old ones, which are then shed into the environment. During fall and winter months, dry skin can be uncomfortable, but completely normal if you start to notice flakes on your cat's or dog\u2019s coat.<\/p>\n

However, even if your four-legged friend\u2019s dry skin<\/a> appears to be caused by dry weather, it\u2019s a good idea to speak with your veterinarian to ensure a more serious health issue is not lurking, especially if you notice the dandruff is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms.
