My vet told me today that my dog has very dry skin but they already gave her meds before any solutions?

the other gave her more of a problem it contained fish oil.

1. Don't over bathe





2. Brush frequently





3. Put a humidifier in your house, especially where the pet sleeps.





4. There are conditioning sprays you can buy, I'd recommend one.





5. Make sure she ALWAYS has fresh water to drink.





6. Put her on a higher quality food.





7. It's possible she has an allergy to something in the air or in her food. When humans have allergies we sniffle and sneeze, dogs develop skin issues.





8. When you do bathe her use a gentle soap and an oatmeal conditioner.
Reply:missed the question.
Reply:Have you tried adding olive oil to her dogfood? About a teaspoon per cup should suffice. It's good for her and will bring out the shine in her coat, too. Other than that, anything with seaweed/kelp in it. You can purchase kelp treats at any organic/natural food stores, and some pet stores carry them as well. Do you bathe her often? A lot of shampoos can dry out the skin as well, and after bathing, if she drip dries, that can cause moisture to lock into her skin and dry it out as well. Best bet for that is after bathing to use a blowdryer (set on cool, not warm or hot, that could burn her skin) and make sure that you use a comb or brush to get the undercoat dry. Even though she may feel dry, the undercoat may still be wet. Just a few suggestions. They also have fish oil tablets, I don't know if that's what you used? But it's 100% fish oil in a gel type pill. You can break those open and put them in her food as well, that's usually pretty effective, unless she had an allergic reaction to it? Hopefully I was able to help in some way and best of luck in getting that issue solved!
