A dull, flaky coat can be a sign of various issues. It might indicate a nutritional deficiency, often related to a lack of essential fatty acids in their diet. Other causes include skin parasites (like fleas or mites), fungal infections, allergies, or underlying systemic diseases such as kidney disease or diabetes, which can affect skin health. Environmental factors like low humidity can also contribute. A vet visit is recommended to pinpoint the exact cause, as treatment will vary. They might suggest dietary changes, supplements, or specific medications.
