| Dandruff!!! Please tell me why my 3 1/2 month old has dandruff? She eats a premium food with Coconut oil and I use oatmeal shampoo and conditioner. I have only bather her twice since having her and have waited 2 weeks in between. Any suggestions what I can give her or put on her to help with this? |

| No only the oatmeal shampoo and conditioner which is supposed to keep them from being itchy. The only other thinkg I spray on her is a natural cologne but not often and just on the top of the coat. |

| Brush 2 or 3 times a day with slicker brush, you'll see the dandruff coming up with the brushing and with weekly baths with good shampoo and conditioner, 2 to 3 weeks it should clear up. |

| Try a different shampoo & conditioner, one w/out oatmeal. Dogs that are sensitive to grains do not do well on oatmeal shampoo...They do have coconut cleanser based shampoos, like Espree. Get the Silky Show set, it's on sale right now @ petco.com. Espree Natural Silky Show Dog and Cat Shampoo at PETCO Espree Natural Silky Show Pet Conditioner at PETCO
