What products are best for my dog's dry, flaky, itchy skin?

Question

Whats a good product for my dogs dry skin ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 9 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

The best thing for dry skin is to add a fish oil supplement to the diet. Something like one of these products. It must be a product made for dogs, not a human product. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/well-and-good-skin-and-coat-omega-3-dog-capsules If there is a lot of flaking/dandruff on his coat, you can use an anti-seborrhea shampoo or spray like this: http://www.allivet.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo seborrhea Finally, if you try these things and the problem persists then I recommend you get Baby to your vet for an exam. Dry skin can often be a sign of underlying illness like thyroid disease. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
