Sensitive Skin/Dry, Flaky Skin?

[MidwesternGal]

Hi everyone!

I need recommendations for a good doggie shampoo!

My lab has fairly sensitive skin (she gets allergic reactions sometimes if she gets into too many weeds!). During the fall and winter, she also gets super dry, flaky, itchy skin. I can pet her and she gets large dandruff flakes.

What is a really good shampoo for her? Preferrably one I can buy over the Internet, as we live in a small town.

Thanks!

We have had this problem, with the seasons changing. We use Earthbath (http://www.earthbath.com/shampoo_pints.html) shampoos. Usually for coat problems, oatmeal shampoos are recommended.

But the thing that worked the best for us? Giving her a fish oil pill once or twice a day. Just the regular stuff people would take, we got a big bottle of it at Costco. We put it in her food, but she LOVES it so much that she picks it out right away. It's like a big treat to her! Honestly, when we started the fish oil, we saw results within a few days, and by about a week the problem was gone. And she already is on food with fish oil in it, so we didn't think of this at first. Shampoo treats the symptoms of the problem, but the fish oil actually stops it from happening.

Thanks Scooter! I'll have to put that on my shopping list!
