Dry skin on bellies??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jmdt · 01-31-2010, 07:28 AM

My Trixie and Wally have dry skin on their tummies. All 4 of them have been on the same food since they were born. Is there something I could supplement to help with the dry skin? I am certain to rinse them thoroughly when they get baths. Thanks

raw organic coconut oil - there are a couple threads on here regarding coconut oil and Welcome to Nordic Naturals omega 3 is another thing some use - how often are you bathing and what are you bathing with?

not too much on the omega fatty acids though as this breed is prone to pancreatitis

the reason i like nordic naturals is because it has vitamin E in it and if you do fish oil you have to supplement with vitamin E as fish oil depletes the body of vitamin E so not just any fish oil should be used

My Trixie has pancreatitis tendencies. I only bathe them about once a month or so. They eat holistic health extension little bits.

Paris gets dry skin on her belly in winter. I put a little Bag Balm (little green tin) on her tummy. Works wonderfully!

I also use the organic coconut oil. In the wintertime my furbabies seem to itch. They look a little greasy,but it works
