rschultz Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 we give our grey fish oil everyday and she hardly sheds. lately she has been shedding a lot. when I brush her afterwards, it looks like dandruff all over her hair. Is that from too much brushing? Or, I just bathed her 2 days ago could it be soap? I know I rinsed her good. Or is it just dry skin? Any suggestions? Should I put somethin on her coat?

CaliforniaGreys Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 When I adopted Wayne, he had it really bad, and being black it really showed. I use EicosaDerm in his food and also yogurt.

GreyTzu Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 It could be residual soap or dry skin. My dogs get Vit. E caps., borage oil caps. and flexseed, fish oil and borage oil combo caps every day.

RobinM Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) Bathing them will dry them out. Soap? dog soap? If not that is definitely going to dry her out. We only bath several times a year unless they get into something that a wipe won't clean. We use missing link and have never had dry skin. (it's not dandruff, that's actually something much different) Your hand has oils in it. By stroking, petting her, that will oil up her coat. They do shed a lot this time of year. You wouldn't beleive what comes off my 4 when I use the glove/brush.
