A shiny, glossy coat is beautiful on a dog. What’s not so beautiful is dandruff: white flakes of dead skin cells.

I really fish oil supplements. They can help with dry skin. Check out this link for dosing help: http://csu-cvmbs.colostate.edu/vth/small-animal/sports-medicine-rehabilitation/Pages/fish-oil-dosing-chart.aspx

I love HyLyte shampoo. It’s hypoallergenic and doesn’t dry out the coat. It also smells good. Brushing daily will reduce the shedding also. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Winston Bruiser.

You can try aloe or a soothing lotion made for dogs. Fatty acid supplements are also helpful but may take 1 month to see results. Flea shampoos are inadequate for flea protection and prevention since it only removes fleas that live on the dog. For every flea on the dog there are 9 more in the house/environment! Oral or topical preventatives are necessary when battling fleas.

I would give him fish oil in the diet to improve the coat. I recommend an aloe and oatmeal moisturizing shampoo, and make sure you are using a flea control product as having fleas causing excessive itching will irritate the skin. Also as he’s a puppy please make sure he’s been treated for internal parasites which can cause a poor hair coat. To control the itching you can use Benadryl. There is a recommended dosing schedule elsewhere on this website. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Arjun.

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.
