Things You'll Need
- Oatmeal
- Epsom Salts
- Omega Oils 3 and 6
- Soft Bristle Brush
Instructions
Supplement your dog's diet with omega oils 3 and 6. These oils are not naturally produced by dogs and are extremely effective in treating dry skin and maintaining a healthy coat.
Apply a paste of oatmeal mixed with water directly onto the affected areas of your dog's skin. Leave for five to 10 minutes and rinse with cool water.
Treat dry or itchy paws by bathing them for 10 minutes in a mixture of Epsom salts and cold water. The salts will both soothe the itching and prevent infection.
Grooming your dog daily to remove dead hair and encourage molting will also improve dry or flaky skin. Use a soft bristle brush to ensure you cause minimum irritation to your dog.
