What can I do for my do that has dandruff. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 7 days old | 95 lbs

Great question! You can give Blue an oatmeal bath or a bath with vitamin E. Both help dogs with dry skin that leads to dandruff. You can also give him vitamin E supplements with his food, which helps with dry skin as well.

What are the best ways to treat my dog's dandruff and dry skin?

My dog has dandruff and nothing works !! I tried lots of oatmeal shampoos and tropical medical shampoo and nothing works ! His diet is good he eats blue buffalo for large breed puppies and i dont know how to get rid of it PLs Help

First thing I would do is brush Raskal daily. This helps distribute the coat's natural oils and massage the skin. There are pet shampoos designed for dogs with dandruff, which you can get from a pet store. I would try using one of those on him. Do not overbathe him, however, as that can lead to drying out of the skin. Follow the directions on the dandruff shampoo and do not use a human one! Only use one labeled for dogs. You can add an an omega-3 fatty acid supplement to his diet in the form of fish oil pills. He can have 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/ DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight. Finally, it could be his diet causing the problem. I personally am not a fan of Blue Buffalo, as are many of my colleagues. There have been too many recalls on the product, plus proof they have no quality control over how their food is made. In addition, vets have reported seeing many health problems in dogs on this food, including skin problems and hemorrhagic gas

My dog has dandruff. It doesn't seem extreme and it's possible I'm only noticing it because he has short black fur, but what's a good treatment to use to help his skin without drying it out?

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I have found fish oil to be great for this. You can get the commercial kind at your local pet store or online and follow the directions in the bottle as they are all different. This is likely going to help. Good luck!

What can I do with persistent dandriff? We have medicated shampoo but anything else because he is a rescue and super scared of bathed. Currently have Douxo seborrhea mousse with phytosphingosine. Anything besides shampoo??

Yes you can use pet formulated fish oils to help with dry skin in general. Also a high quality dog food such as Royal Canin skin support, Eukanuba, or Evo can also help. I would also recommend a conditioner from your local vet that you can spray him with in between baths. The shampoo you have it the best thing to do and once you do it twice weekly for 3 consecutive weeks or so, you won’t have to do it so often. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care.

Gave her a bath 3 days ago. She has like little white flakes around her neck/Shoulder area. What can I do to make it go away?

I'm not sure what kind of shampoo you used on Hazel, but it could have dried her skin out, leading to the white flakes (dandruff). You can try giving her a bath with Vitamin E oil, which will help moisturize her skin. An oatmeal bath may help, and you can try that instead of a Vitamin E bath. You can also give her a Vitamin E supplement, which helps with dry skin.

Have Boomer examined by your veterinarian to rule out medical causes. Thyroid function should be checked (via blood work) as this may cause skin conditions. Use a good quality essential fatty acid supplement such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps. These come as capsules and are easily administered based on body weight. Do not bathe him more often than once every 4-6 weeks. This may dry out his skin. When you do bathe him, use an approved shampoo and a leave in conditioner. A humidifier in the home may help also, especially if you live in an arid region of the country.

Whats a good product for my dogs dry skin ?

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/doctors-foster--smith-skin-and-coat-chews 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!

Is there a good natural way to help with dog dandruff?

Vitamin E and fish oil are two great supplements you can give that can help with coat health and dandruff/dry skin. They can be easily added to Rowdy's food. If you are concerned there is a more serious cause to the dandruff such as allergies or an illness, a vet visit is always best.

I tried 2-3 types(including some antidandruff ones) of shampoo but dandruff seems to come again after his bath, also the dandruff is specific to particular spots and it only at some spots on his back. He is a good boy any help is appreciated.

Hi there! I often recommend a nice, soothing oatmeal shampoo for dogs. And you can add some omega 3 fatty acid supplements to the food! Try the shampoo for a few weeks, and if it's not improving, Jackie should see his veterinarian to see if he needs some prescription strength shampoo and/or conditioning spray and/or oral medications. Best of luck!

Poor Daisy! Dandruff is caused by dry skin, and you can give her vitamin E or fish oil supplements which can help with dry skin. The dosage for fish oil is 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight.

I recommend starting him on VetriScience Derma Strength daily chews as well as Nutramax Welactin Canine Omega 3 Liquid Dog Supplement. If the dandruff does not resolve/improve within 2-3 weeks on these supplements I recommend sending pics with your next question. Good luck!
