| my beagan has dandruff some days too. its due to a PH imbalance of the skin and fur i think. fewer baths and keep grooming regularly. try changing shampoos and make sure you condition.

| I've notice food being a big contributer to this as well. We feed all our babies Lotus only. Its pretty pricey and in between checks one week I gave Chloe some regular old dog food and her skin went to poop. Back on Lotus her coat looks gorgeous and we have no dandruff issues. |

| I've heard that fatty foods can also make the dogs skin irritable. |

| i don't give him baths too often. i know how it can dry out the skin.. and his food is special formula for skin and hair =D i think maybe it's the weather? i just gave him a bath last night and he's okay now.. so i think i'm gonna pick up some conditioner for him.. thanks for all the info everyone! |
