I use Minksheen shampoo. It is all natural, containes natural insect repellants. I hve not used any other flea meds for over a year and no fleas at all. It also leaves a beautiful shine! I can also recommend the Espree products. I love the Luxury Remoisturizer and the Silky Show Conditioner is nice too! They have several shampoos that I like -- the Silky Show Shampoo and the Hypoallergenic Coconut Shampoo are two I keep on hand. I will occasionally use the Espree products in between using Minksheen. I like the smell of the Espree better but hard to beat the natural flea repellants in Minksheen. On puppies and faces, I use Fluffy Puppy from BioGroom. Smells great and is no-tear.
Since you dog has dry flaky skin already, I would recommend starting with the Espree products -- specifically use the Luxury Remoisturizer. You could choose from Oatmeal shampoo or either of the two I mentioned above.
I use a Madan brush. So nice and easy on them and helps taking a tangle out without pulling. Also need a good metal comb. Brush daily! This is important for yorkies as their hair can mat with inattention. |
