Sudden onset of Dandruff

Morning everyone,

Over the last few days Charlie has developed dandruff. I haven't changed his food or diet in any way, he still gets tinned sardines in olive oil 3 times a week, I groom him. Any ideas?

Thank you xxx

 

Could it be the change in the weather? Have you started using your heating more? I find that dries my skin out, so wouldn't be surprised if it could have some affect on the dogs, too.

I found that over-grooming Willow caused her skin and coat to be worse rather than better.

 

I did think perhaps the weather could have something to do with it. But believe me our house is SOOOOOOOOO we are scraping ice of the INSIDE of the windows and that's with the heating ON!

I groom him once a week so not sure it's that.

Thanks xx

 

Cold air is usually dry. Can you check a hygrometer? Maybe you need to humidify.

 

Cold dry weather does dry the skin out, so it could be that. Also stress, but I don't think Charlie is stressed
