(you may want to put some slippers by the door for family and visiters to slip on before they come in). Try to buy 100% cotton sweaters and clothes. Next, add some omega 3 fatty acids in the diet. Another is to find a very gentle shampoo, and even dilute that down. Make sure you rinse, rinse, rinse and rinse again, it's so very important. Then go with a gentle rinse out conditioner and add some vegetable glycerine. The leave in types can cause some itching. In the dry winter months it isn't really necessary to bathe the dog weekly. Try to wait every three to four weeks. Just wash the face, feet and bottom each day. | i will try some of it; thanks for the info
