Question

Home remedies for dog dandruff/mange. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 22 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

I can give you a home remedy for dandruff, but unfortunately there are no home remedies for mange. Treating mange requires medications from the vet, and I would take Bounty into the vet to discuss the use of medications. As for the dandruff, you can give him an oatmeal bath and supplement him with fish oil. He can get 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight.
