I brush him and bathe him once a week The weather here has just started to get colder but has been very rainy and damp so far.
I havent seen Derma Caps but will look into it.
if he is blowing his puppy coat and this is the reason for the dander then that is good news for me  |
If he were mine...and I'm no expert, just giving an opinion here. I would get him on a great puppy food like Innova or Fromm's or something of that category...I would get rid of the other supplements and only use the Derm Caps...the oil in them will help with his coat and you won't need to use them very long and once you have him on a great food you won't need all the extra supplements. My groomer instructed me to brush daily and bathe every other week...bathing every week can dry out their hair and skin only making the problem worse. When my boys were young I used the Derm Caps and it worked wonders almost immediately...it wasn't dander because Yorkies don't have that...it was just dry skin either from weather or the cheap food the breeder had them on. Once I got them on a great food with the Derm Caps their coats changed drastically within a short period of time. Once the puppy coat is gone you will see a huge difference in his coat and most likely your allergies but he can blow his coat for several months yet so you may have to hang in there for a while...but...it will be more than worth it!
