\u25cf Unique Skin & Coat Needs: Cats have a delicate skin barrier and a natural pH of
6.0\u20136.5. Many dog or human products disrupt this balance, causing irritation,
dermatitis and dryness.
\u25cf Ingredient Safety: Always choose products formulated for cats. Avoid SLS,
SLES, fragrances, alcohol, coconut derivatives, and harsh chemicals.

Never use dog and\/or “pet” shampoos\u2014they strip and disrupt the microbiome of your
cat’s skin. Always use feline-specific formulas.
Human shampoos are formulated for a more acidic skin pH, typically around 5.5.
Canine skin pH is highly variable\u2014influenced by breed, sex, coat region, environment,
and season\u2014and tends to be neutral to alkaline (7.4\u20138.5), unlike the more acidic
human skin. Feline skin falls within its own unique range (6.0\u20136.5). Using topical
products not specifically formulated for cats can cause harmful pH shifts, leading to skin
barrier disruption and microbial imbalance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

1. Brushing<\/strong><\/p>

Regular brushing reduces shedding, prevents mats, and keeps your cat’s coat shiny.
Use our Scratchless Cat Slicker Brush. We designed this brush to provide
uncompromised mat prevention without scraping the delicate skin of your feline friend.
The tines are coated to prevent static cling and the head has “give” and is not rigid.<\/p>

2. Bathing<\/strong><\/p>

Which shampoo does my cat need? For cats that aren’t oily or heavily soiled, our Ultra
Gentle Cat Shampoo is the perfect choice. Safe for all life stages\u2014from 8-week-old
kittens to 20+ year seniors\u2014it’s your go-to “everyday” shampoo.
Our CleanUp!\u2122 Cat Shampoo is ideal for all breeds and ages, cleansing the skin and
coat without requiring a traditional tub bath. Many professional groomers prefer this
shampoo after Lion Cuts and Sanitary Trims. It’s gentle enough for use on the head and
face\u2014simply avoid the eye area.
Our Degreasing Shampoo is a powerful addition to the lineup, formulated with a higher
concentration of our glycolipid surfactant for superior oil-cutting performance. Oily
breeds such as Maine Coons, Siberians, Persians, and Sphynx\u2014as well as cats with
dandruff\u2014will benefit most from this formula.
For cats suffering from Stud Tail, Chin Acne, and\/or dandruff, our Stud Tail & Chin Acne
Cat Shampoo delivers our most concentrated oil-busting formula for targeted relief.
Use feline-specific shampoos for most breeds. Always apply to a dry coat and follow
product directions closely.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
