I have a dog with very dry skin,
what can I use to improve this?
There are a few different causes that could
be responsible for your dogs dry skin like the
environment or weather, over bathing, allergies,
parasites, fungus, poor nutrition that may lack
essential oils or fatty acids or they can just have
sensitive skin prone to dryness.
I would suggest using a moisturising and
soothing shampoo and conditioner like Aloveen,
Episoothe S or Nutriderm. Do not bath the dog
too often as this can strip the natural oils from
the coat, bathing once every 2-4 weeks is
sufficient. I also suggest adding a skin and coat
supplement, that contains Omega's 3, 6 and 9
as well as essential fatty acids, to your dogs food.
Some suitable products to help improve dry skin
include Essential 6 for Dogs, Vets All Natural
Omega Blend and the Natural Animal Solutions
Skin Pack.
If the problem persists or your dog becomes
very itchy or unwell you should speak with your
veterinarian.
