My Lucas has seemed to be itchy since he came home. At his first vet check-up, they said as long as nothing looked wrong with his skin, he was probably just scratching like normal.

But now he has little flakes in his hair. Since I live in Calgary, AB and it is very dry here in the winter, I thought maybe Lucas just has dry skin like the rest of us, but I don't know if maybe I am bathing him too much or with the wrong shampoo and that it would be making it worse? I bathe him once a week and have been using diluted Mane and Tail that his breeder gave me.

Any suggestions for my flakey baby?
