Managing Your Dog's Dry Winter Skin

When cold weather arrives, your dog may experience dry skin or dandruff. Help promote the health of your dog's skin and coat with these three simple steps:

Restore skin health

Feeding your dog a multivitamin with fatty acids may help to maintain healthy skin, coat, eyes, heart, and brain.

Manage flaky and scaly skin

Colloidal oatmeal and aloe are helpful in promoting soft skin and a shiny coat by hydrating and moisturizing the skin to control flaking.

Feed your dog a healthy diet

Giving your dog food that is high in protein and supplemented by fatty acids will help improve the softness of your dog's coat while also maintaining overall health.

Tip

Groom your dog regularly with the FURminator deShedding Tool to remove dead coat hair and reduce shedding.
