Help, please. My cats have dandruff.

[KayLaw]

For some reason, about a month ago, I decided to start grooming my cats more often. I bought a couple of brushes and seem to have damaged their skin somehow. All of a sudden when I brush them big flakes of dandruff appear. Is there a product you know of that will cure this? I'd really rather not go to the vet unless I must.

1. The extra grooming may have stripped...

...some important oils out of their fur, leaving the skin exposed to the air, where it becomes dry. Try cutting back on all the combing and see if the dandruff clears up.

2. It's worth a shot

Thanks, I guess I'll start there.

3. Dunk them in head n' shoulders water then rinse them in the shower!

Should be easy!

6. They ARE on a reduced-fat diet

But it's the only food they'll eat that doesn't make them :puke:
