My dog has dandruff!!
We have a golden retriever who is 9 years old, in the house mostly, eats dry dog food and he has dandruff. Big flakey dandruff. He has had dandruff ever since we brought him home as a pup. I had asked the vet about it and he said it seems to bother me more than the dog so we shouldn't worry so much about it. Another vet in the practice recommended some kind of oil put in his food, every day a tablespoon at a time. I forget what kind it is!! The last bottle went bad and was thrown out. A tablespoon at a time lasts a l o n g time. Any suggestions from the Board?

I agree with QuiltE, both the Omega-3s and flaxseed oil are very healthy for you too. That way the oil would not go bad.

I add olive oil to my dogs wet food in the evening during the cold winter months when the air is drier. Sometimes I put extra water in it to make sure he gets extra fluid. I've heard olive oil isn't the best, that fish oil is better, but I use what I have and he loves it and it really does help.

My poodle has skin allergies and gets something the vet calls "cradle cap". I used antibiotics to clear any infection and then she advised benadryl. Since then, the allergies are MUCH better and her cradle cap is gone. Good luck.
