Jaden gets really dry skin! He was having such problems I took him to a vet to run some test and found out he was allergic to corn!
So, I switched his food to an even higher quality food that had no corn in it. He's currently on Canidae All Life Stages and it has done wonders for his skin and for his tearing/eye boogers! I mix in missing link with his meal in the morning and grizzly salmon oil with he evening meal. I also pre-oil his coat before washing using jojoba or olive oil. I will let it sit on his coat for about 6-7 hours and then he gets his bath. I use Petsilk Moisturizing Formula the most and Furbutter conditioner as his skin seems to respond to these the bests.
He also always has a sweater or coat on when it's cold. I've found the cold weather does horrible things to his skin and if I keep him covered up and away from the harsher elements he does MUCH better!
Hope this helps!
