How to Remove Dandruff from Pet Dogs?
Under normal metabolism, epidermal cells continuously grow, age, die, and shed. Dogs have more fur, so they are more prone to dandruff. How can we remove this dandruff? (1) Bathing the dog: Bathing your dog can effectively remove the accumulated old dandruff on the skin. You don’t need to bathe too often; typically, once every two weeks in summer and once a month in winter is sufficient. Bathing too frequently may damage the oily protective layer on the dog's fur.
(2) Special shampoo: If general shampoos cannot effectively remove dandruff, then you should choose a special anti-dandruff shampoo containing various special ingredients. (3) Hair care spray: If the dog's living environment is dry, it may also cause a lot of dandruff. Consider buying some oily hair care spray from a pet supply store. Spraying it on the fur can effectively prevent excessive evaporation of moisture from the dog's hair.
(4) Moisturizing oil: Products generally used for baby skin care can also moisturize the dog's skin and fur. (5) Regular combing: Regularly combing your dog can brush off accumulated old dandruff and dead hair and help distribute the natural oils secreted by the skin evenly across every inch. With frequent combing, many dandruff problems can naturally resolve. (6) Add some oil: A major cause of increased dandruff can also be insufficient oil in the diet.
Therefore, adding an appropriate amount of pet-specific fish oil to the food can help the skin restore normal metabolic functions. Just adding half a spoon or a teaspoon of fish oil daily can show obvious improvement. (7) Change the feed: Some poor quality feeds fail to meet the dog's nutritional needs and can cause poor hair health. Many dogs' dandruff problems naturally heal after switching to a more professional type of feed.
