Diet wet food for cats with skin diseases
The causes that can cause skin problems in cats are very diverse

In order to successfully treat a cat, it is very important that it be thoroughly examined by a veterinarian. If only the symptoms are treated and not the cause, the symptoms usually come back after a while and all the effort has done no good. Often times, symptoms are triggered by fleas and other parasites, fungi, bacteria, and injuries. Feed intolerance, allergies or allergens from the environment (e.g. pollen count) are the cause less frequently. Food allergies are usually an overreaction of the immune system to certain proteins in the food. In the case of the more common feed intolerances, however, the immune system is not involved. The symptoms of a food allergy are often indistinguishable from those of a food intolerance – these can manifest themselves in the form of skin problems or impaired digestion – e.g. diarrhea. Medicines often bring relief, but – as long as the cause is not eliminated – they cannot bring about permanent freedom from symptoms. Therefore, affected animals are adjusted to a diet that, thanks to strictly selected raw materials, reduces the risk of reactions. Since the inflammatory skin reactions need time to subside at rest and new healthy skin builds up only after weeks, feeding for at least 10-12 weeks is necessary. but – as long as the cause has not been eliminated – cannot bring about permanent freedom from symptoms.

How SKIN CONTROL wet food supports your cat with skin diseases

MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL is a high premium wet diet developed by veterinarians and nutritionists, which, thanks to its pure turkey composition, offers a low allergy potential and is therefore also suitable as an elimination diet. This is prescribed by a veterinarian in order to be able to test specific protein sources after the inflammatory skin reactions have subsided (usually after approx. 10-12 weeks). This gives you an overview of food allergens that should be avoided in the future. Due to the high effectiveness and the fact that many cats are doing well with MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL, a provocation with other protein sources is often dispensed with and the cat is permanently fed with MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL. The skin barrier plays a major role in so-called atopy (allergy to environmental stimuli such as Pollen and mites) play a very important role, as they protect the body like a protective shield from external dangers such as allergens. If the barrier is disrupted, more allergens can enter the body through the skin and thus trigger inflammatory reactions on the skin. MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL contains a complex of vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12, which can strengthen the skin barrier and have a positive effect on the texture of the skin and coat. Zinc regenerates skin and fur and strengthens the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids actively alleviate inflammatory processes in the skin and intestines. The very good digestibility of MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL relieves the stressed intestine and gives it the opportunity to recover.

Veterinary advice in case of skin diseases

Since serious underlying diseases such as hormonal disorders or autoimmune diseases can also be the cause of skin problems, you should definitely have your cat examined by a veterinarian.
In particularly serious cases, it may be useful to consult a veterinarian specializing in dermatology. Meravital Skin Control should only be fed on the recommendation of a veterinarian and under appropriate medical supervision.

Our tips for using SKIN CONTROL wet food:

Please always offer your cat the food fresh and room temperature, as stale or cold food irritates the stomach and intestines.
We recommend storing opened canned food in a neutral plastic container in the refrigerator. The oxidation of open cans can lead to a loss of acceptance in the animal.
If your cat prefers dry food, we recommend MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL dry food (please DO NOT feed this in combination with MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL wet food in the case of allergies, as no statement can be made about allergies due to the different protein sources – so the “either-or- Principle”).
When carrying out an elimination diet (e.g. to rule out food allergies), it is imperative that your cat is fed exclusively with MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL, as all other foods contain additional allergens (including normal treats, milk, etc.) Make treatment more difficult or falsify the diagnosis.
Instead of giving your cat treats, give your cat attention in the form of praise and pats.
Explain to the people around your cat why they are not allowed to give it any food other than MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL.

General tips for cats with allergies and skin conditions:

Have the success of the treatment checked regularly by a veterinarian.
Regular medicated baths or soothing sprays often provide relief for many skin conditions – ask your veterinarian about appropriate treatment options.
Keep all areas around the cat clean and as free of dust as possible.
Clean all bowls daily with hot water and washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
