| We used fish oil and treats high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids when my pups skin started to look dry and it did seem to help. My vet had some fish oil chews that the pups really liked.

| Our vet recommended that I give Teddy fish oil to help with his dry and flakey coat that got kind of icky over the winter...it really has helped a lot. We use Nordic Naturals (the one in the dropper bottle although it comes in a soft gel as well) and it's great. Teddy is flake-free and looks so much better! I also give it to Toki for her joints (not sure how much it helps but at least she'll have a good coat!). |

| You could also try virgin organic coconut oil. Some people add it to food and some rub it on the dry areas.

Continue with Oatmeal baths.. I have rinsed my pup with Aveno Oatmeal Bath after using the Oatmeal shampoos. Put Aveno in a Basin with warm water mix well and pour this water over her with a measuring cup.. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yes, fish oil may help irritated skin. I would discontinue using any oatmeal shampoo on a dog w/ skin issues though - vet dermatologists recommend NOT using oatmeal products as they actually irritate the skin. Use something gentle and hydrating.

| Leo had dry skin as a puppy. First thing my vet did was check for mites, then recommended a diet high in fish. I also started using Paws 'n Claws dry skin conditioner every night during brush-outs. He is 9 months old now and has a beautiful silky coat.

Nu Vet makes some of the BEST products. Lexi takes their vitamins daily! and uses their "OATMEAL" formula shampoo. Her SKIN ISSUES ARE GONE. I was introduced to this company and their line of products at the YTCA show in NYC.. | |

| Well, the OP HAS been using oatmeal shampoo & her puppy STILL has dry flaky skin, so I think she's better off using something WITHOUT oatmeal.
