My cat sheds too much hair.How often should I brush her?

If your cat is a heavy shedder then brushing everyday is not a bad idea. Choose a softer brush that is appropriate to your cat's coat and if your cat is not enthusiastic about being brushed keep your grooming sessions short. Here is a list of different types of grooming tools: http://abnormalloveofcats.com/cat-care/c鈥?/a>





If you find your cat is shedding a great deal all year around, you might look into reasons why. A low quality diet or constant stress often causes excess shedding. In some cases, reducing stress and feeding a high quality diet can eliminate excess shedding to a point where brushing removes almost no loose fur.My cat sheds too much hair.How often should I brush her?
Brush her everyday, or even several times a day if necessary. My cat sheds like crazy in the summer, and the pet store recommended a brush called ';the Furminator';. It works really well at getting out the loose fur. They are kind of expensive for a brush, but you can usually find them for cheaper on amazon:

Also, some cats shed because their skin is dry. Most pet stores usually carry some kind of oil that you can add to their food to keep the skin moisturized. So if she also has dry, flakey skin in addition to the shedding, that might be worth a try.My cat sheds too much hair.How often should I brush her?
it depends on the breed. if your cat sheds a lot then everyday. a good brush would be is the furminator. its a really good cat brush. it gets rid of all of loose hair so your cat will not shed. with the furminator i would brush the cat every over day. you can buy the brush at pets smart.
Cats shed more in spring or fall, but if your cat is shedding a lot - maybe brush/comb (use a flea comb - gets more fur) every other day if shorthair. If longhair they should be combed every day anyway.
if she tends to malt a lot then i suggest you brush her every day if you can.
Everyday, it helps them have healthy skin. If you are too busy the do it at least once a week.
I would brush her everyday if you can
i would everyday if possible
