Is it an allergy? If not try adding Linatone to her food. It is a supplement that can be purchased at most major pet stores.

Hope she is feeling better. Chat Icon

I don't think it's an allergy....it's been bothering her a while now. Maybe it was the overgrown grass in the yard (DH hadn't cut a patch because of all the wood laying around from construction).

Definitely try the Linatone then. Anything topical may irritate it if it is raw, plus she might lick it off.

Hope she feels betterChat Icon

Do not shampoo your dog too often. Most dogs need to be shampooed once every 2-3 months at most. If you feel the need to clean him more often, just rinse without shampoo. Ebony had this problem and when we stopped washing him so much it stopped. They need the oils in their skin.

Also dribble oilve oil on his food -- GREAT for their coats, skin, and joints. Plus makes the food yummier!

I use this as well. Omega oils(such as the ones in Linatone) help with this. Have you changed his food at all??? My dog has a food allergy and gets this way with a food she's allergic to.....

TY Kara.....honestly, she has not been bathed in FOREVER. She'll get wet in the rain, but that's it. They both need a grooming.

We are taking her to the vet today

ya know....I come on here to get advice and help and all you do is pick on me. I'm awfully tired of justifying myself to you.

My dogs are not neglected, as you think they are.

Beside the fact that dogs should NOT be washed like people. They are dogs - they need the oils in their skin, not have them washed away and then replaced by some "special shampoo".

Re: Dry Skin...how to resolve (Dog)

I use a natural soap that I order from Conn. It works great on Otis he was getting a reaction to the soap we used to use. It is called Mystic Naturals!! It is a bar and works great for him maybe order a few bars and see how that works!! I also heard about maybe putting some Olive Oil in the food not much.
