| Dandruff Angelo had a bath a few days ago and I'm looking at his coat and it appears he has dandruff. How can I get rid of this? |

| Make sure you rinse him thoroughly. Once I started using Yorkie splash and shine and made sure I rinsed Georgie off a couple of times he didn't have dandruff anymore. Another thing I just realized is Georgie had it more as a puppy. Maybe someone else can chime in on whether or not puppies have dandruff more often then adult Yorkies

| As long as he has no cuts of scratches salt and vinegar scrub expholiates and prevents dandruff in people and pets. Use it as a prewash.

| I agree with making sure you are rinsing well...make sure it's not dry soap. If you think you've rinsed enough, rinse a couple of minutes more. That's what I do. If it ends up truly being dandruff, I would also suggest adding a little bit of coconut oil to his diet.

Natural Dandruff Treatments | LIVESTRONG.COM I wouldn't do this regularly. Ad also stated coconut oil given orally (and topically) is a miracle I only use raw cold pressed and I personally prefer Aunt Pattys. Unrefined Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Aunt Patty's, by GloryBee Foods
