flaky skin - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My Chloe is 4 months old tomorrow. She has flaky skin, like dandruff when I brush her. What would be good to use on her? She doesn't seem to be itchy any. Thanks

Perhaps the shampoo you use? I use Super Fresh Dog Shampoo | True Blue Pet Products and many here love Yorkie Splash and Yorkie Shine | Yorkie Shampoo and Yorkie Conditioner
I also give Buster Salmon oil.

My pup had that when I first brought him home and the vet gave me medicated shampoo and it went away after a couple baths

Is that like a "bottle" of Oil ?
And if so, how do you administer it ?
Then, would not one of those soft pills be just as effective ?

I use Products that I get from a local store. It comes in a pump bottle that I keep refrigerated. I give him a pump with his food or add it a little cocktail that I make for him with probiotics and vitamins.

Sometimes if there is residue left from the shampoo or conditioner it will cause flaking on the skin. Some products take a lot of rinsing to get all of it out of the skin and coat.

I had that same problem with our foster, Buster B., when I first brought him home. I think it was from flea medicine put on him at the shelter, but not sure. Now he is fine and does well with Mink Sheen shampoo and Pantene conditioner.

Thanks everyone. I think I will change her shampoo and make sure she is rinsed well. I appreciate the help.
