Cat Skin & Coat Supplements
A soft, shiny coat and clear, healthy skin are two of the best signs that your cat is thriving from the inside out. The skin is one of the body's main organs of detoxification, so good nutrition is the real key to coat condition. Our range of natural cat skin and coat supplements is chemical-free and chosen to nourish from within, with omega-3 oils, soothing balms and gentle topical products to support a glossy coat and healthy skin all year round, as well as their overall health and wellbeing.
Skin and coat problems are often the body's way of flagging an underlying imbalance, so it's worth considering the bigger picture. Alongside our skin and coat range, you may find it helpful to explore our supplements for itching and irritated skin, natural flea, tick and parasite protection, and digestion and gut health, since a healthy gut often shows in a healthy coat. If you're unsure where to start, our team is always happy to help, and it's worth checking with your vet before introducing anything new.
A glossy, soft coat and clear, comfortable skin are among the clearest signs of a healthy, thriving cat. Because the skin is one of the body's largest organs, and one of its main routes for detoxification, coat condition often reflects what's happening on the inside. Our range of natural cat skin and coat supplements is chemical-free and chosen to nourish from within, helping your cat look and feel their best all year round.
What a healthy coat looks like
A cat in good condition has a coat that's soft, shiny and free from bald patches, dandruff or greasiness, with supple, unbroken skin underneath. Signs that something may be amiss include:
- A dull, dry or greasy coat
- Excessive shedding or bald patches
- Dandruff or flaky skin
- Itching, scratching or over-grooming
- Redness, scabs or sore patches
- A matted or poorly kept coat (often a sign your cat isn't grooming well)
Why skin and coat problems happen
Coat troubles usually have an underlying cause rather than being a problem in their own right. Common culprits include an imbalanced diet lacking essential fatty acids, allergies, fleas and parasites, poor gut health, stress, and seasonal changes. Because the gut and skin are so closely linked, what's going on inside often shows up in the coat.
Natural ingredients for skin and coat
- Omega-3 and omega-6 oils – from fish, krill or algae, these nourish the skin barrier and add shine
- Biotin and B vitamins – support healthy skin and coat growth
- Zinc – an important mineral for skin health
- Evening primrose and other plant oils – help soothe and condition the skin
- Brewer's yeast – a traditional, palatable source of skin-supporting nutrients
Topical care for skin and coat
Alongside supplements that work from within, gentle topical products can help on the surface, from soothing balms and sprays for dry or irritated patches to natural, pH-balanced shampoos. You'll find these within our cat grooming and hygiene range, ideal for keeping the coat clean without stripping its natural oils.
Supporting your cat's skin and coat at home
- Feed a good-quality, balanced diet rich in essential fatty acids
- Groom regularly to remove loose hair, spread natural oils and spot problems early
- Keep on top of natural flea and parasite control, as bites are a common cause of skin trouble
- Support digestion and gut health, since a healthy gut so often shows in a healthy coat
- Reduce stress, which can trigger over-grooming and coat changes
When to see your vet
Persistent itching, hair loss, sore or broken skin, or a sudden change in coat condition should always be checked by your vet, as they can rule out allergies, infections, parasites or underlying health issues, and skin health is closely tied to your cat's overall health. As always, check with your vet before introducing anything new.
