Ragdoll Cats

Caring for your Ragdoll’s coat is an important part of your cat’s overall health. While Ragdoll coats rarely mat and are easy to care for there are steps you can take to ensure a healthy glow. Keep in mind that a healthy cat is evident by healthy skin and coat. Your Ragdoll needs a healthy diet to maintain a healthy coat.

A dull and lifeless coat may be a symptom of diabetes, liver, or kidney disorders. It could also indicate allergies to the food you are feeding. Your Ragdoll cat’s coat is an important part of their immune system. The skin kills the majority of bacteria it comes in contact with.

You can head off most infections by regularly grooming your cat and inspecting the skin. Keep the area where your cat sleeps clean and free of dust and insects. Stay aware of your cat’s grooming habits. If your cat is grooming itself excessively it could be an indication of a problem and you should consult your veterinarian.

The best thing you can do for your cat’s health is to feed a premium cat food. Premium cat foods provide balanced nutrition for your cat and are not something you should skimp on. If you have questions as to which premium foods are best for your Ragdoll cat consult your veterinarian.
