Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. Feline acne is quite common and usually appears as small blackheads on your cat's chin, which might look a bit like dirt. The causes can vary and may include stress, poor grooming habits, or even allergies to certain materials, such as your cat's food or water bowls.
At home, you can improve your cat's acne by gently cleaning the affected area with a mild soap or an antibacterial wipe specifically designed for pets. It's important to avoid scrubbing too hard, as that can irritate the skin further. Ensure your kitty’s bowls are made of stainless steel or glass, as plastic can harbor bacteria that might worsen acne. Cleaning these bowls daily can also help.
Keep an eye out for redness, swelling, or any sign that your cat is in pain or discomfort, such as scratching excessively. If you notice the acne spreading or see signs of infection like pus or an unpleasant smell, it's time to get in touch with a vet.
To ensure your furry friend gets the right care, consider booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look and offer guidance tailored to your cat's needs.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
