lotion for doggie's dry skin milu has really dry skin. i use oatmeal shampoo, conditioner, and i try to spray on the leave-in conditioner as well, but she still has flaky skin. is there lotion for doggies? her coat is very shiny and soft, but her skin get flaky. thank you! :D (i bath her once a week) |
I think part of the problem is you are bathing her too often- I bathe Layla- especially in the winter- every 2-3 weeks because her skin is also VERY dry. But she still needs extra help on her tummy which is always dryer than everywhere else and i use Aveeno Baby Fragrance Free lotion. |

i think it is a bit too frequent for her skin type. but i love it when she smells so good after a bath! :D how do you keep her smelling like a baby in between baths? maybe i should just use the wipes on her everyday, especially after she eats...or is that not a good idea? |

I don't use wipes or sprays- i think that only adds to the oil in her hair which would end up making me bathe her more often- so they would kinda be counter productive. |

milu doesn't mind taking a bath, it's her face/head getting wet that she really hates! :rolleyes: |

Also, I've heard that oatmeal is more drying if you use it every bath. |

Definitely don't need to bath more than once every 2 weeks. I use johnsons 2 in 1 anti tangle shampoo and conditioner for Molly, which has improved her fur lots..it has a nice sheen to it now. Dont worry if your little one doesnt smell like a baby all the time in between baths...she is allowed to smell like a doggy sometimes! I love the smell of mollys feet...a mixture of cheese and grass!! ;) |
I use earthbath vanilla almond spritz to keep mine smelling good inbetween baths |
There is a member on here that is always posting about how oatmeal is more drying if used over and over. I have looked it up and found where others state the same thing. I've looked for articles on it and haven't found anything yet but I'm not good with wording things properly to get the best search results. I know I stopped using it because I would use it every bath and Lilly was itching even more. However, I used it last night and she hasn't been itching as much last night and today. Maybe there will be some clarification somewhere but I have seen first hand how it dries out even more. |
I don't wash them every week when it's this cold out. I use mane and tail which was originally for horses. I use it on my own hair, and the babies and there here is always soft and silky with a beautiful shine. |
I use salmon oil on chesters wet food its good for the skin and coat |
