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