Skin Problems in Cats

All you need to know about cat skin problems and how to prevent them

Skin problems in cats are one of the most common reasons they're brought to the vet. The good news is that most skin conditions in cats are treatable if caught early—and in many cases, can be prevented altogether.

When you notice a change in your cat's skin—such as new redness or bumps, flakiness, loss of fur, raw patches, or itching—the first thing to do is take a close look at your cat's environment. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

Does the area where your cat spends most of its time have enough ventilation?

Does it have access to plenty of water?

Has your cat been coming into contact with any new household products?

Is there anything else that might be causing stress for your cat? This includes other pets or people.

If you can't identify anything that might be causing your cat's skin irritation, it's time to make an appointment with your Vet. Your vet will perform a complete physical examination and may request additional diagnostic testing. In some cases, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed.

Coatex Capsules - Pack of 240

Coatex Capsules - Pack of 240

Coatex Capsules are a specially formulated dietary supplement designed to support skin and coat health in dogs and cats. They contain a balanced blend of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that help maintain a healthy, glossy coat while supporting overall dermatological health. Coatex Capsules are particularly beneficial for pets suffering from dry, itchy, or flaky skin, as well as those prone to allergic skin conditions.

How Coatex Capsules Work

Coatex Capsules contain a unique combination of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which play a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s natural barrier function. These fatty acids cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet. The formulation also includes other key nutrients that work together to improve coat texture, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin hydration.

When given regularly, Coatex Capsules help to restore the balance of essential fatty acids in the skin. This can reduce excessive shedding, alleviate itchiness, and improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture. The anti-inflammatory properties of omega fatty acids also provide relief for pets suffering from allergic dermatitis and other skin-related conditions.

Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel – Relief for Pets' Skin Irritations

Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel is a veterinary-formulated topical solution designed to alleviate various skin conditions in pets. This gel utilises neutralised zinc combined with amino acids to provide soothing relief from itching, dryness, and irritation. It is suitable for managing superficial wounds, hot spots, abrasions, and other dermatological issues in dogs, cats, and other animals.

How Does Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel Work?

Zn7 Gel contains neutralised zinc gluconate complexed with the amino acids L-lysine and taurine. This formulation enhances the bioavailability of zinc, allowing it to penetrate the skin effectively and exert its therapeutic effects.

  • Neutralised Zinc Gluconate: Zinc is known for its anti-pruritic (anti-itching) and healing properties. In the neutralised form, zinc gluconate is stabilised at a pH that matches the skin's natural environment, promoting better absorption and efficacy.

  • Amino Acids (L-lysine and Taurine): These amino acids aid in stabilising the zinc and facilitate its transport across cell membranes. This combination ensures that zinc reaches deeper skin layers, enhancing its soothing and healing actions.
