SeaPet understands that one of the many joys of owning a cat is petting their soft, shiny coat. Did you know there are as many as 130,000 hairs per square inch that make up your cat’s coat? That luxurious fur is good for more than just petting, though. It’s an active part of the way your cat gathers data about the world around them. Their coat protects them from extreme weather and even helps them manufacture vitamin D, which is important to maintaining overall good health. Needless to say, it’s critical to keep your cat’s coat healthy. Many cat owners use supplements like SeaPet’s Omega PURE Fish Oil for Cats and CBD Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract to support their cats’ coat health.
Why Isn’t My Cat’s Coat Shiny?
If your cat’s coat seems dull or lifeless to you, there are a handful of potential causes. Advanced age can have an effect on your cat’s coat. As cats age, they do less of the twisting, turning, and rubbing against objects that they once did. These activities help distribute your cat’s natural oils, which are an important part of keeping their coat soft and lustrous. Excess weight can also reduce your cat’s mobility, leading to the same results.
Bathing cats is not usually required, though it may become necessary if their age or weight hinders them from bathing themselves. Unfortunately, this can compound the causes of a dull coat. Shampoo can remove more than just sweat and dirt from your feline companion. Harsh cleansers can also strip the fur of the natural oils that help your cat’s coat gleam.
The most frequent culprit, though, is an inadequately balanced diet. Cats need far more protein than dogs, so it’s important they are fed a diet that’s scientifically formulated for cats. However, even nutritionally complete diets sometimes fail to keep your cat’s coat as shiny as it could be. What’s a conscientious cat owner to do? Many pet parents turn to supplements like omega-3 fish oil.
SeaPet’s Omega-3 Fish Oils
Pet owners use fish oil supplements with a number of benefits in mind, but one of the things it’s best known for is its role in keeping the skin and coat in great condition. SeaPet offers a full line of omega-3 fish oils in both liquid and capsule form. You have the choice of using pure fish oil or pure fish oil enhanced with additional vitamins and nutrients. Today, we’ll focus on SeaPet’s Omega PURE Fish Oil for Cats.
Our fish oil is pure, medical-grade oil made from sardines and anchovies. These fish produce an oil that contains more than twice the amount of EPA in fish oil supplements that are made from salmon oil. SeaPet Omega products are molecularly distilled and cold-processed. Omega PURE Fish Oil for Cats also includes 1000 ppm of vitamin E, which is essential to your cat’s overall health and is often used to promote a healthier and shinier coat.
SeaPet’s fish oil line is fully tested for heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, or mercury, PCBs, and other toxins. The results exceed national and international purity standards. During the packaging process, the bottles are filled with nitrogen before they’re sealed. Removing the oxygen extends the shelf life, ensures freshness, and prevents oxidation, helping to maintain our high purity standards to deliver the best quality fish oil to your cat.
SeaPet’s CBD Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of more than 100 active compounds in cannabis. Many people wonder if it’s safe to use CBD oil with their cats. CBD is different from THC in that there are no psychoactive effects caused by CBD oil. CBD does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the compound in marijuana that produces the “high.” Giving your cat CBD oil is just the same as giving them more traditional supplements.
CBD is administered in concentrated doses for therapeutic purposes to people and animals alike. CBD contains chemicals that help the central nervous system maintain its balance. Also called a tincture, it is made by extracting compounds from the hemp plant using a solvent, such as alcohol or olive oil. The end product is a non-toxic, all-natural, safe supplement for your pet.
CBD oil is used for a number of therapeutic reasons, such as ameliorating the symptoms of feline anxiety, and its benefit to your cat’s coat is actually a happy side effect. You can safely use it to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat. That being said, you should always contact your vet before starting your pet on a new supplement, and that includes CBD oil.
SeaPet is dedicated to providing the best CBD products to our customers. Our CBD Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract is hand-packaged and inspected to make sure there is consistently high quality in every dose you give your cat.
How Do I Find Supplements to Help My Cat’s Coat?
There are many makers of supplements that claim to make a cat’s coat shine, and their products are available both online and in pet shops.

But how do you know you can trust the source that you have found?
There are a few key things to look for that can let you know that a source is trustworthy. For one, how long have they been around?
