Instructions
Feed your dog with high quality dog food. Inexpensive foods can contain additives that may irritate your dog's skin. Quality foods will have essential nutrients and vitamins needed for healthy skin.
Add flaxseed oil to your dog's diet. Omega-3 fatty acids can help treat diet deficiencies that may cause the dander. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil over the dog's food after consulting your veterinarian.
Bathe your dog with a moisturizing shampoo that treats dandruff. You can also add 1 cup of natural rolled oats to the bath water to help lock in the oils in the skin that shampoos strip away.
Brush your dog weekly to help remove dead skin and loose hair. Brushing will also help to distribute the natural oil to keep the skin healthy.
Wash the bedding to prevent any skin irritation. Dirt, debris and fur can irritate the skin and cause the dandruff to form due to allergies.
