Not all dog foods have high enough amounts of omegas to help with skin function. They are also used to stabilize/preserve the food. There are lots of different causes for dandruff, including allergies, skin parasites, general dryness or unhealthy skin for another reason. I would start with a vet visit to rule out a more serious medical condition and talk about higher doses of omegas and perhaps particular medicated bathes to help. I really like the brand nordic naturals for the fish oils.
