Her skin is SO dry! Daisy's skin is SO dry today I noticed it actually flaky! My poor baby! Ive changed her food, she gets Linatone and Brewers Yeast daily... I need to get her a new shampoo... Are there any in the stores that are good? I honestly can't spend alot of money on one right now....especialyl with shipping charges! She is just so dry! :( |
Before I used Chris Christensen systems I use to use just peoples shampoo and pantene. Why don't you try something like head and shoulders on her body.. Just make sure you wash it out well. |

I don't know of any store here that carries CC products so I want to make sure it will be good for my Tiger. I'd hate to spend on an expensive product, pay for shipping and only to find out it isn't good. Of course, I read through this FM that majority sends out great reviews about the product. |
The shampoo that I have through CC systems is Day to Day Moisturizing but it doesn't say anthing about Oatmeal. But I have to tell you it wasn't that expensive for the 4 bottle treatment, I think only $8 but the stupid shipping was around $10. I would try some product made for humans before I ran out and purchased this, even though I do like it. |
We use an oatmeal shampoo on Bella and today I noticed white specks in her fur. :rolleyes: I don't know what to do! We got the oatmeal shampoo for Kelli to prevent dry skin but never got a chance to use it on her, I'd hate to think that it's not going to work on Isabella. This may sound silly, but I know with humans we get dry skin in the winter from being inside with the heat on and everything....could it be the same for dogs/animals? |
I would think that the white specs are probably the oatmeal.. Next time rinse her extra good, and do you use a conditioner.. That would help get rid of the specs too! |

I haven't used a conditioner on her, is there anything that you can recommend? |
Hello, My little Molly had white specs and I use Black Pearl on her. She is much better. She also was scratching quite a bit, but that is better also. I changed her food to Eagle Pack, which I saw mentioned on this site and also put a little Missing Link in her food. I have had a time getting her on a feeding schedule and dealing with her scratching. The Black Pearl is a very good shampoo and was recommended by my breeder. I hope you baby gets better. I worry about mine all the time. She seems so fragile. Mollymae |
I had that problem at some pointand change to LaPooch shampoo and it solve it, its great, smells great you will love it. Here is the site if you want to check it out www.lespoochs.com. Hope she get better soon. :thumbup: |

There is oatmeal in it and it is effective for dry coats. I really feel it is best to use products formulated for dogs, even if you don't choose cc, then there are many others to choose from. If finances are a factor, then personally, I would go with herbal essence or pantene before I would buy something off hte shelf from petco or wherever. Before I started using cc I went and bought something from petland - 4 paws I think - and it was just horrendous for Chewy's coat! It was dry and stringy :( . Good luck finding something you like! |

No, finances is NOT a factor. My only concern is if it does not work for my Tiger, then it becomes a waste of money, especially since I have to pay for shipping charges. If CC were available locally, I probably would have gone and get it by now. Right now he uses the pet aromatics and they aren't cheap either, but at least I did not have to pay extra for shipping . . you know what I mean?! Okay, since you sell these products, do they come in a sample set? If not, please advise what exactly I need to improve on his coat - knowing that he has very dry flaky skin: Shampoo, conditioner, etc. I might as well get "the works" so that I only pay a one time shipping. I know that you give a discount to YT members so that is really nice. Based on your experience, how long do you think before the flakes dissapears completely? |

http://www.chrissystems.com/system_kits.htm Get the kit that has the Day to Day shampoo in it. |
I had one dog that had dry skin that flaked a lot. It wasn't allergies just dry skin. What I ended up doing was adding flax seed oil into her diet. After a couple of months she stop flaking. |

Chewey's Mom, do you carry this as well? I would rather patronize your business if you have the sampler kit. Otherwise, I will go with this site. And if it works, I will order the regular size bottles from you. I am excited and cannot wait to order . . . I hope it works for my baby! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: |

C&C is really the best. Princess has never had dry skin, so I'm really not sure what you should use for that, but then it could be her skin isn't dry because of C&C. Because they are so small the sample pack last's a long time. I'm sure you will find you like it, and will be able to order again in time before you run out. :) |
You could also try Dr. Foster & Smith. Here's the link to the web site. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...?N=2001+113734 The oatmeal shampoo and nourishing conditioner it only 6 bucks each. My friend just got it last week for her Yorkie who's also suffering from dry skin and she's been raving about it. Good luck. |

I have the same system of 4 sample bottles. I have only used the first two!! ANd I like it. But I do switch off and use my own shampoo and condition on mine. |
Grizzly pet products has a salmon oil with the omega fatty acids, alot of the dog stores has it. Chester has dry sensitive skin as well, he gets his bath at petsmart with hypoallergenic oatmeal and it works well. |
Thanks guys! I'm looking for a remedy for Sully, too. We bathe him once a week.....well, sometimes even less than that if I can help it because he's got such DRY skin! Poor guy, no wonder it itches him all the time! I thought about putting vitamin E on his food?!! Just a thought though. I like the flax-seed oil idea. I'll have to go get him some of that!!! :thumbup: |
Where do you purchase the eagle pack food. I've never heard of it. My Cassi's scratching alot and I'm seeing alot of flaking. She is 10 months old and has been shedding. I'm changing food and shampoos. Have you ever heard of a Yorkie Shedding, possibly when she is getting her adult coat? I am really concerned. She was at the vet 6 weeks ago. He said she looked great! Also where do you purchase flax oil? I had a toy poodle before Cassi ( he died with cancer). I never had these types of problems with him. Yorkies are more like children are they not? I'm always so nervous about the slightest thing. My family thinks I am plum silly! Maybe I am but this pooch has really grabbed my heart. Thanks, Cassi's Mom Cassi's Mom |
