So I did & the good news is that everything's ok. It's just dry skin. It could be caused by the allergies, so I've got to give her her allergy meds daily for a few days. Or it could be a vitamin deficiency, so we got some vitamins to give her for a while. I showed him the info on the NV food & he said that the same vitamins he's giving her are also in the food, so if I start her on that, it should continue to help. He said do whatever I wanted to, but thought the diet was a good idea.
What type of vitamins did he reccomend? My Suzi has a little bit of dry skin, and flaking. But, is not losing hair, shedding. She is only 4months old. I switched shampoos and it lessened the dandruf but did not cure the problem. I am not bathing her as frequently, to try aqnd see if the natural oils in her skin will help. She eats a high quality dry kibble. BY Nature.
