Rocks was on Diamond puppy food when we had the greasy head problem. We switched to Wellness and it's gone along with a myriad of other issues. Woo Hoo!!!

Do they make a puppy formula?

OlivesMommy · 03-22-2010, 04:14 PM

Nevermind that! I called Petsupermarket and they said they have some and there is a puppy formula! Maybe this will help.. Thanks for the advice

Raley gets the little greasy head, too. I will normally take a wash cloth with a little baby shampoo and clean his head and face between baths.

Please, google Nutro Consumer Affairs!! This food is known to have caused severe illness and even death in many dogs and cats.

Oh my goodness! Thanks for the warning, I truly appreciate it! I was planning on getting her Wellness tomorrow, I hope that's ok!

I can't tell if Olive likes Wellness yet... She used to eat up the Nutro as soon as I put it down. I guess we'll wait and see.

I took her to the groomer the other day and they got rid of her greasy head (finally!). They said use oatmeal shampoo on her and no conditioner.

I also said something to my trainer and she said Nutro might have too much oil in it for her little body.

Maybe making both of these changes will help her.

I use Harry Barker oatmeal shampoo and conditioner and it been great for my two yorkies and my little one, Lia tends to get an oily head. When Lia is oily I use baby magic on her head and face as she tends to have very sesitive eyes. I sometimes take a wash clothe with a little baby magic and wash her head and face between baths. Kheils, which has a doggie ine can be purchaased at most departmet stores works well too.

I usually use a really wet wash cloth to wash Annie's face and head. That way I can make sure she get rinsed well and limits the the amount of soap and conditioner in her eyes. I use a shower spray hose in the bathtub to wet and rinse the rest of her wiggly little body !!
I've had really good results with Yorkie Splash and the conditioner. It could be that its not all getting rinsed out for you. I also found that it doesn't take much of it to work well.

Puppies under a 1 yr and some up to a 1 1/2 release a lot of natural oils because their oil glans are kicking in, so when my 3 boys (my girl was my first so I made all my mistakes with her..lol) where that age I did not use conditioner and if I did it was only on the body part for tangles but not on the head.

Thats why when you use conditioner by the 3 day after their bath they look like they need a bath again...lol when they are that young just
get yourself a good puppy tearless shampoo for all over and conditioner when and where it is needed.

My kids are 13 yrs 4yrs and 2 3yr olds
and still I only use a puppy tearless shampoo on their heads, rinse well run your fingers threw the
hair and lift it to get water underneath to rinse the skin well.

I hope this helped
