dandruff? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My Yorkie pup is 4 1/2 months old. His coat seems to have dandruff especially after a bath. Can anyone recommend a good food for Yorkie pups as I have read alot and feel this could be a result of a less than desirable diet. I have fed him Iams Puppy food since we got him but don't want to contribute to any allergies, etc. if diet is the answer.
New to this site.. any help is greatly appreciated

Could also be the shampoo you are using. Chipper has very dry hair. I dilute a conditioner and leave it in. Helps with the dryness.

Check into the diet
and there is plenty of resources for you to do that but just and if not More important is how often you are bathing him and the shampoo you are using

Dog's skin is very sensitive and needs to be washed with very mild soaps
Use a dog shampoo that is formulated for sensitive skin and if you are bathing him more than every 2 weeks that's too much
