Thank you for using Pet Coach to address your question about Autumn. Generally you try to address dandruff with food or skin supplements first. I recommend the food to be Nutro or Royal Canin as both are geared to ward pets with skin conditions. You can also try adding in a fatty acid supplement to see if that helps. There are also medicated shampoos but most cats don't take kindly to baths. Plus it is only a temporary fix. Try the diet change first. It will be at least a month before you know if it worked. Best of luck!
