| products What products were you using and when..at bath time, brushing time etc ? Unforunately, oil into the skin will cause dry skin..it clogs the pores. Use a good dog shampoo and conditoner..mist the hair when brushing..avoid oil or greasy products directly tot he skin..wash it off well. Last edited by YorkieRose; 08-29-2005 at 02:51 PM. |

| advise I talked to the number dog dermatologist in Silver Spring MD..he wrote several books about skin...I was using a heavy coat oil on a few of mine and they had terrible dry skin..he said to avoid oily products..and that cleared it up..BUT, whatever works, works! If oil works for Rosie then I would certainly use it. It is best to use a good dog shampoo and conditioner..lightly spray water and brush at other times..too many products can cause a problem. Oil on the ear leather can create a problem called Leather Ear. |
