cat dander

Question
My 10 year old cat has really bad cat dander.  She is black, so the white specks/flakes really show up.  We are not allergic but I would like to help her get rid of it.  Someone suggested putting a tablespoon of vegetable oil in with her cat food, but that made her throw up.  I feed her dry Purina urinary tract health formula.  Is there some natural way to rid her of the dander?
Thank you,
Paula  

Answer
Feeding her a better quality, all-natural diet certainly will help.   I feed my cats Prairie by Nature's Variety and they have beautiful hair coats.  www.naturesvariety.com

Fish Oil is usually the preferred additive for dry skin.

I also like to use HUMILAC dry skin spray.
