| Welcome to YT! My Jamie had very dry skin when he was small too and I tried several shampoos with no luck. After lots of reading on here, I decided that maybe it was food related and switched him off his Eukanuba (junk) food. He skin started looking better on Wellness but he was still sort of itchy. Finally I switched him to Nature's Variety Raw and his skin is super hydrated and healthy now. What kind of food is Izzy eating?

| Welcome! We want pics! You might want to check into the food. What's he eating? Maybe he's allergic to something in it.

| Welcome to YT. My Doogan just had a Dermatologist appointment this week because of the same issues as you. He recommends a shampoo called Cortisoothe that is available through your Vet. He also said that when giving them baths, make sure it is with cool water and never dry them with a hairdryer. Hope this helps
