Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend using Krillex Shed Free chews. I have seen some amazing results with this product, which can be found online quite easily. I've seen shedding and dandruff drastically reduce in dogs on this supplement. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions!
