The causes that can cause skin problems in cats are very diverse
In order to successfully treat a cat, it is very important that it is examined thoroughly by a veterinarian. If only the symptoms are treated and not the cause, the symptoms usually come back after a while and all the effort has no effect at all. The symptoms are often caused by fleas and other parasites, fungi, bacteria and injuries. More rarely, feed intolerances, allergies or allergens from the environment (e.g. pollen) are the cause. Food allergies are usually an overreaction of the immune system to certain proteins in the food. However, the immune system is not involved in the more common feed intolerances. The symptoms of a food allergy are often indistinguishable from those of a food intolerance - these can manifest themselves in the form of skin problems or impaired digestion - e.g. diarrhea. Medication often brings relief, but - unless the cause has been eliminated - they cannot provide long-term freedom from symptoms. Therefore, affected animals are fed a diet that reduces the risk of reactions thanks to strictly selected raw materials. Since the inflammatory skin reactions need time to subside with rest and new healthy skin only develops after weeks, feeding for at least 10-12 weeks is necessary.
How skin control + allergic wet food supports your cat with skin diseases
vital skin control + allergic is a high premium diet wet food developed by veterinarians and nutritionists, which, thanks to its pure turkey composition, offers a low allergy potential and is therefore also suitable as an elimination diet. A veterinarian prescribes this so that specific protein sources can be tested after the inflammatory skin reactions have subsided (usually after around 10-12 weeks). This will give you an overview of food allergens that should be avoided in the future. Due to the high effectiveness and the fact that many cats with vital skin control + allergic do well, provocation with other protein sources is often avoided and the cat is fed permanently with vital skin control + allergic. The skin barrier plays a very important role, especially in so-called atopy (allergy to environmental stimuli such as pollen and mites), as it protects the body like a protective shield from external dangers such as allergens. If the barrier is disturbed, more allergens can enter the body through the skin and thus trigger inflammatory reactions on the skin. vital skin control + allergic contains a complex of vitamin B1, B2, B6 and B12, which can strengthen the skin barrier and have a positive effect on the condition of the skin and fur. Zinc regenerates skin and fur and strengthens the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids actively relieve inflammatory processes in the skin and intestines. The very good digestibility of vital v relieves the stressed intestines and gives it the opportunity to recover.
Veterinary advice for skin diseases:
Since skin problems can also be caused by serious underlying diseases such as hormonal disorders or autoimmune diseases, you should definitely have your cat examined by a veterinarian. In particularly serious cases, it may make sense to consult a dermatologist. vital skin control + allergic should only be fed on a veterinary recommendation and under appropriate medical supervision.
Our tips for using skin control + allergic wet food:
Please always offer your cat food fresh and at room temperature, as stale or cold food irritates the stomach and intestines.We recommend storing opened canned food in a neutral plastic container in the refrigerator. The oxidation of open cans can lead to loss of acceptance by the animal.If your cat prefers dry food, we recommend vital skin control + allergic dry food (if you have allergies, please DO NOT feed this combined with vital skin control + allergic wet food, as no statement can be made regarding allergies due to the different protein sources - so the “ “either/or principle”).When implementing an elimination diet (e.g. to rule out food allergies), it is absolutely necessary that your cat is fed exclusively with vital skin control + allergic, as every other food contains additional allergens (including normal treats, milk, etc.), which can make treatment more difficult or falsify the diagnosis.Instead of treats, give your cat attention in the form of praise and petting.Explain to the people around your cat why they are not allowed to give her any food other than vital skin control + allergic.General tips for cats with allergies and skin diseases:
