Can Marro support cats with skin-related issues?

Supporting Healthy Skin & Coat with Marro

Marro can help support healthy skin and a shiny coat in your cat through high-quality, nutrient-rich meals.

For cats diagnosed with dermatosis or excessive hair loss, we recommend sticking to Marro’s Chicken, Turkey, Pork, or Fish pouches, which are higher in omega fatty acids to support skin and coat health.


How Marro Supports Cats with Skin Concerns

  • Single-Source Proteins: Provide essential amino acids for skin repair and help identify potential food allergens.

  • Fish Oil (Omega-3 & Omega-6): Nourishes and strengthens the skin barrier.

  • Golden Gravy: Adds extra moisture to help keep skin hydrated.

  • Essential Vitamins & Minerals: Supports immune system function and overall skin health.

  • No Nasties: Avoids ingredients that could aggravate sensitive cats.

We recommend to always follow your vet’s guidance for any diagnosed conditions.


Common Causes of Skin Problems

  • Allergies: Food (beef, fish, chicken, dairy) or environmental (dust, pollen, mold).

  • Parasites: Fleas, lice, mites.

  • Hormonal Imbalances

  • Infections: Bacterial infections from injuries or fights.

Signs & Symptoms to Watch For

  • Itching, scratching, or excessive grooming

  • Hair loss or bald patches

  • Redness, inflammation, lesions, or scabs

  • Dry, flaky, greasy, or oily skin

  • Ear issues


Home Care Tips

  • Brushing: Helps remove excess flakes, especially for senior cats or those who struggle with grooming.

  • Hydration: Wet food or water fountains encourage drinking, supporting skin health.

  • Nutrition: Feed high-quality, nutrient-rich food with essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to support skin repair and overall coat health.


When to Seek Veterinary Advice

  • Persistent skin problems

  • Excessive hair loss or dandruff

  • Dermatosis or signs of infection


Key Takeaway
Marro provides digestible, protein-rich, nutrient-packed meals that can support skin repair, hydration, and a healthy coat — but always follow your vet’s guidance for diagnosed conditions.
