Help, My Dog Has Dandruff! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

muffinlvr · 12-02-2005, 11:17 AM

I have noticed that my 5 month-old Muffin is getting more and more dandruff. I give her a bath once a week using the CC hair system. She gets brushed FAITHFULLY every night. She eats Royal Canin dry puppy food with a wee bit of Wellness canned mixed in. Her coat seems to be dry and I can't figure out why. I did read somewhere that I could give her a teaspoon of olive oil mixed in with her food once a day. Does anybody else do this or do you have other tricks to keep the flakes away?

I mix salmon oil on the food but I bet olive oil would do the same thing. I bathe every two weeks and dont have a problem with dandruff. My dogs eat Royal
Canin also and just a word of warning. I am switching because my dog has allergy problems that arent getting any bettter with the meds and so we suspect it is the food.

Try Drs. Smith and Foster vitacaps for small dogs. Does wonders for Edie's skin. Take about a month to see results....I think omega-3 fatty acids are the trick.

Most of dandruff cases are cause by not rinsing the yorki enough .

That's what I was wondering. Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly and then rinse again. A spray attachment is a good tool to thoroughly rinse them.

My puppy muffin is 5 months old and has white-bad dandruff... He had a little on the head when i bought him (2 months old) but the vet said it was ok, not a big deal... Now he has it all over the body and he gets white from it everytime i brush him.... He eats royal canine, has dog snacks now and then, takes a bath every 10 days, exercises regulary, has his fur brushed everyday, sometimes twice a day.... Not sure what am i doing wrong?!?! Plz help!!!
