The Connection Between Nutrition and Dermal Health

Many cats—especially those with longer hair—can be significantly more prone to sensitive skin and the discomfort of hairballs. Your cat’s coat is often the first visible indicator of their internal health. When a cat’s skin care is neglected through poor nutrition, the results are immediate: a dull coat, flaky skin, and an increase in grooming-related digestive issues.

Purina Pro Plan Adult Derma Care is an expert-led nutritional solution designed to nourish your cat from the inside out. By providing a precise blend of vitamins and minerals, this formula ensures that the skin barrier remains strong and the fur stays anchored, reducing the amount of loose hair that ends up on your furniture—or in your cat’s stomach.

Salmon: The Foundation of Superior Skin Care

The quality of protein in a cat’s diet directly impacts the quality of their fur. Hair is composed primarily of protein, and without high-quality sources, the coat becomes brittle and prone to breaking.

Why Salmon is the Ingredient

Purina Pro Plan Derma Care features high-quality salmon (15%) as its first ingredient. Salmon is not only a highly digestible protein source but is also naturally rich in the essential building blocks required for dermal repair. This science-based approach ensures that your cat is receiving the amino acids necessary to maintain an elastic, healthy skin layer and a robust, glossy coat. For pet parents prioritizing skin care, starting with a marine-based protein is a proven strategy for success.

Halting the Cycle of Excessive Shedding and Hairballs

During the course of a single year, a cat may experience up to 1kg of hair passing through their gastrointestinal tract. This can lead to frequent regurgitation and digestive blockages, which are stressful for both the cat and the owner.

Derma Care is proven to help limit excessive shedding by strengthening the hair follicles from within. Furthermore, the formula contains a specific blend of added vegetable fibers that helps eliminate twice as much hair from the gastrointestinal tract in just 14 days. By facilitating the natural passage of ingested hair through the stools, this diet reduces the risk of hairball formation and keeps your cat’s digestive system moving smoothly.

Omega Fatty Acids: The Secret to a Radiant Coat

A critical component of any skin care regimen is the inclusion of healthy fats. This formula is enriched with a potent combination of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These lipids act as a natural moisturizer for the skin, preventing the dryness and irritation that often lead to over-grooming.

Nutritional Spotlight:

• Omega-6 Fatty Acids (2.0%): Essential for maintaining the integrity of the skin’s water-holding barrier.

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids (0.6%): Helps to manage the natural anti-inflammatory processes of the skin, reducing redness and sensitivity.

• Vitamin E (670 IU/kg): A powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative stress.

High Palatability for the Fussiest Felines

It doesn’t matter how beneficial a food is if your cat refuses to eat it. Many cats with skin sensitivities are also “fussy eaters” who can be difficult to satisfy.

The Derma Care recipe is highly palatable, utilizing the natural oils and flavors of salmon to create a kibble that cats find irresistible. This ensures consistent nutrient intake, which is vital for seeing long-term improvements in skin condition. Whether your cat has a flat profile like a Persian or the thick double coat of a British Shorthair, they will appreciate the crunch and taste of this premium formula.
