Best Answer

Dander or dandruff is typically dried flaking skin cells that are visible on the cat's hair; dark-furred cats are more likely to show this than light-furred cats because the light colored dander stands out against the dark fur.

Your veterinarian can help you figure out what is causing the dander, but in general shampooing your cat will only make it worse by drying the skin out further and creating more dander. However, if the dander isn't severe, you can try gently combing out your cat's fur and wiping the existing dander off with a clean cloth.

There are shampoos and other medications that should help. A change to a more balanced diet may be required.

If the condition does not respond quickly, to topical treatments, take the cat to a vet.

There is no way for you to get rid of a dog's dander. If you are allergic, look into getting a hypoallergenic dog. These dogs have hair, like humans, instead of fur. Some of these dogs are poodles and bishon frises.

Well, One remedy I used was quite effective.

So basically, you go to the shop and buy apple cider vinegar. When you get home add some vinegar to a small bit of warm water until the vinegar goes a paler yellow. After that secure the cat so it cannot move, then massage the vinegar into every area of the cats body except the face. leave it to soak for two to three hours then wash it out with luke warm water then blow dry the cat on a low heat and this should not need to be done for another three months. It's quite effective and works well.

What is the fastest way to get rid of dandruff?

Answer: There are many products available in the market for the treatment of dandruff but after using those products dandruff is removed only for a short period of time. We should use a shampoo which can remove dandruff very fast as well as could work on the reason behind dandruff. Main reason behind the dandruff is dry scalp. Chemist Direct provides an anti-dandruff shampoo known as Nizoral shampoo. This shampoo clears dandruff from our hairs in just one wash and then it works on dry,itchy and red scalp to treat it and make it clear and healthy.
