| Ally has the same problem. Her skin changed last year when medicating her for ringworm that her new sister brought with her! After treatment, her skin got so dry, it was like she had frosted flakes around her neck. I recently changed shampoo for them and she is back to dry skin. Last time I used a shampoo from the vet and it worked. This time it doesn't seem to help too much. Can't wait to see if anyone can help. Poor little Ally needs it to. I can't put sweaters on her because she scratches and gets caught in them. |

| Oatmeal shampoo is wonderful for dogs with dry skin.... and also with any "itchies"....... there are also oatmeal spray conditioners, too.... which we have used when we had a mini schnauzer.... great stuff!!!

| I had just switched to an Oatmeal Shampoo that made Ally's skin dry. |

| Funny because I was going to ask about this today also. My Trixie has dandruff I use milksheen shampoo. She isn't itchy though. I think it is just "winter". What can I do?
