The most common ailment in cats, skin conditions, can arise when the gut microbiome loses its balance. The cat's gut is a crucial organ where most immune cells gather. An imbalanced gut environment can manifest in cats as skin conditions such as itching, rashes, hair loss, rough coat, and even chronic issues like atopic dermatitis due to immune reactions.

Since the impulse to scratch when a cat is itching is uncontrollable, early management is crucial to prevent it from progressing into chronic conditions. Microbiome analysis can assess the risk of lifestyle diseases by analyzing the gut environment and help manage the necessary dietary nutrients for your furry friend. Additionally, administering supplements proven to benefit skin and immune enhancement could also be beneficial.
