Anybody have any good suggestions to alleviate my cat's dry skin problem.
He's in pretty good condition but I have noticed dry skin flakes on his
coat when he gets his twice-weekly brushing.

Thanks.

Try adding a bit of oil to his food. Or get a fatty acid supplement
made for cats. If the dry skin persists or gets worse, or if he starts
scratching or losing fur, see the vet. Dry skin can be a sign of
parasites, thyroid disorders, diabetes or other problems.

Feed it a raw diet.
