Instructions
Groom your pet's coat thoroughly with a brush intended for use on dogs. Different types of brushes are available for short coats and long coats. Try to comb in the direction the hair grows to remove loose dandruff flakes from the hair.
Use lukewarm water to wet the hair completely. People don't like to bathe in very hot or very cold water, and neither do animals.
Apply moisturizing shampoo to the coat, and work it in until it produces a thick lather. Rinse with warm water until no suds remain.
Apply moisturizing conditioner to the coat and massage it in thoroughly. Wait at least five minutes before rinsing with warm water. In addition to helping reduce dandruff, the conditioner will soothe irritated skin and add a nice shine to the coat.
Use tea tree oil spray on your dog's coat regularly if the dandruff is severe. Rub it deeply into the skin for extra conditioning.
