Dry Skin? Bella has THE WORST dry skin..when you pet her flakes fly everywhere....what products do you all use to control this issue? The vet says just a moisturizing shampoo..but which one?? |
If she has dry skin you want to use an oatmeal shampoo. I am pretty certain Petsilk has one. You might also want to give a suppliment like missing link |
Use a very mild shampoo and even dilute it. Then a hot oil treatment after each bath. Next use Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in the food each day. Good luck with your baby. |
Add some omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to the diet like Yorkiedaze suggested :) It has a lot to do with diet also :) |

My vet told me I could give Gracie 1/2 of a fish oil capsule once a day, the same one that I routinely take. It smells, but once a day is not so bad. She does not seem to mind it. I just pierce one end and squirt have the gel over her food, then keep the rest for the next day. Also, I quit bathing Gracie every week. She now has a bath once every 2-3 weeks and her skin is much better. |
At the health food store or anywhere that they have vitamins/supplements, you can find Fish Oil and it has omega 3 fatty acids :) Or, you can buy the Missing Link supplement and it has the right balance of omega-3 essential fatty acids and omega-6 essential fatty acids. |
i use oatmeal shamppoo...but i swear after i started giving her omega 3 and 6 everyday she has gotten sooo much better...i use missing link for the omega 3 and i give her 1/4 a sardine a day for omega 6.... |
Layla had THE worst dandruff... you could see it everywhere.. but since i started using Cranberry Fields Shampoo and Conditioner (Kathryn_V on here sells it) it is GONE GONE GONE!! |
My little one has flakey skin also, always scratching himself. The vet looked at it and prescribed fish oil capsules. I mix one capsule with food daily. The vet sent me home with a bottle, but you also can get it at the pet store. It's just been a week since he started on it, so I don't know if it's working yet. |
I use Minksheen. Love IT. |
I use regular moisturizing puppy shampoo & specialty oatmeal protein conditioner on Chloe. She still has a ton of flakes. I REALLY want to try MinkSheen...I'll be getting some when her shampoo is almost out. |
When I had the dry coat/dry skin problem with Chattie I started correcting the problem from the inside out. It took a while to find the right combination (about a year) but for us Canidae All Life Stages dry kibble sprinkled with Missing Link and about 3 drops of pure emu oil daily has turned her coat around. I shampoo with MinkSheen -- it is a GREAT product. Other great shampoos that worked for me are Coat Handlers and the Cranberry Fields Shampoo and Conditioner that Kathryn_V sells (www.beyondspoiled.com) When starting a new program, be sure to give it a chance. It might take several weeks/months to see a real difference. |
is minksheen soap free??? |
Hmmm I don't know. http://www.touchofmink.com/ here's the link girl. I hope you find the info you are looking for. I'm not sure if it's soap free. Sorry. |
