Excessive dryness, allergies, parasites, skin conditions, poor nutrition, can all cause dandruff in dogs. Identifying the cause helps treat it.
Causes
Bathe dogs weekly with a moisturizing shampoo to hydrate skin and reduce dandruff flakes. Brush gently when bathing.
Bathing
Feed dogs a balanced diet rich in omega fatty acids found in fish oils, flaxseed. These nourish skin and coat health.
Diet
Vitamin supplements with biotin and fatty acids support skin and coat health. Consult a vet before starting supplements.
Supplements
Regular brushing spreads oils evenly and removes dead skin cells and dandruff flakes before they build up. Be gentle.
Grooming
For severe cases, antifungal shampoos, medicated rinses, allergy medicine may be needed. Seek vet advice.
Treatments
Keep dogs well-groomed, bathed, nourished. Address skin issues early. Maintain healthy skin and coat to prevent dandruff.
