Dry Skin

I have a puppy that is 13 weeks old he is a male and is a very good puppy except he has dandruff. or i guess thats what it is i brush him everyday and give him vitamins and bath him with special shampoo that is supposed to stop this. he has had it since i got him at six weeks. any help is appreciated. Thanks

What type of food is he eating? If pup is eating a good quality food you should not have to supplement. Skin condition could be a mild reaction to his food.

Purina One Puppy. i dont think its his food though cause he had it when i got him but i just thought he needed a bath but now its gotten bad

Just curious, where did you get him from? Could be the food, he probably wasn't eating much kibble before you got him. Look into raw foods/other foods......What food was he eating before you got him? Need a little more information GoldenPup

I live in NC and got him from a local breeder (raleigh). He was eating Nutra-Something cant remember. I am starting him on Purina One. and i have been feeding him some canned pedigree to see if the oils from the canned food would help. But hes still got it pretty bad

Call and ask the breeder, see if the parents had similar problems or if other puppies in the litter. Do you mean Nutro? GoldenPup
