Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though Susie may be dealing with a bit of dandruff if you are seeing thin white flakes all over through the hair coat. I would recommend the below following products to see if you can improve the overall haircoat. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Douxo PS calm shampoo 2. Welactin omega-3 fish oil capsules 3. Essential 6 spot on by dermoscent 4. Krillex shed free chews All of these products can be found online quite easily.
