| Flakey skin My precious Harlie has had dry skin since she was very little. I was looking at her skin in the sunlight today and it looks like dandruff. She is 10 months now. She is currently eating Fromm Salmon a la Veg. I use Yorkie Splash and Shine shampoo. I tried adding salmon oil to her food but she won't eat it. She doesn't seem terribly itchy but she does scratch. I am thinking I am going to switch her food to one of Fromm's grain free formulas. What do you all think? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Grain free is def a smart thing to try. You could also try adding coconut oil to her diet...most dogs will just take a clump off of your finger as a treat.

| Thank you! I didn't know that about coconut oil, I've never actually seen it, it must be a different consistency than I imagined. I thought it was like olive oil consistency. I'll have to get some. |

| When first got Boomer he also had a ton of dandruff. I switched him to a grain free diet and he get salmon oil every morning. It took about 1-2 month to really see a difference. Now I only see some small flakes of dandruff when I brush him occasionally. |
