| Shampoo/Conditioner for dry skin Hiyas Gang, As of late, my poor Sango has been having dry skin. I think it's because of the new apartment where we moved into. It air is awful dry and even my fiance & I are getting dry skin because of it. We are going to get a humidifier this week and hopefully that will help with the air in the apartment. I have been using only C&C Systems Day to Day shampoo, followed by the Thick & Thicker, then the Afterbath. I finish off by drying her and spritzing with the Ice on Ice. But I still notice her skin gets dry and her coat is getting dull. My poor girl! Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

| You might want to switch to an oatmeal shampoo just untill you get the dry skin problem under control. Also you might want to add Omega Fatty Acids to her diet. I use Missing link I get it at Petsmart. There are other things you can use also instead of Missing Link like Salmon oil and Vitacaps. Good luck.

| I agree w/ what Chachi said. Omega works wonders. Oatmeal and teatree oil are great too. You should check out Tropiclean's line It helped a lot with Stewie's dry skin.

| Chloe had dry skin and coat problems and Ive been using HappyTails Oatmeal Shampoo and deep conditioning treatment. They are available on my website. I really like them and her coat is finally really soft and shiny and she doesnt have any dry skin anymore.

| Watch for any alcohol in products. I ordered a product and used it and it left a residue on the glass when dried, was flakey, and the same on the dog. So could be the products you are using. |
