Customer Reviews: Does Reflex Plus Cause Hair Loss? (Myth Busting)
In Bangladeshi Facebook cat groups, a common rumor pops up: "Reflex Plus causes hair loss!"
Is there any truth to this Reflex side effect, or is something else to blame?
The Truth: Correlation vs. Causation
We analyzed customer feedback.
-
The Food: Reflex Plus contains Omega 3 & 6 and Zinc, which are good for the coat. It is unlikely to cause shedding unless the cat has a specific chicken allergy.
-
The Real Culprit: Most complaints come during summer/monsoon. In Dhaka, this is prime "Fungal Infection" season. Owners see hair falling out, blame the food, change the brand, and the hair grows back (because the fungus cycle ended).
Signs of Food Allergy
If it is the food, you will see:
-
Vomiting/Diarrhea.
-
Itching specifically around the face and ears.
Summary
Reflex Plus is generally safe. If your cat is losing hair in patches, check for fungus or mites before blaming the bowl.
