The dry weather in autumn makes it easy for dander to appear on dogs, and some dogs always carry dander on their bodies when they are first bought. In fact, under normal metabolism, epidermal cells constantly grow and age to death and fall off, and because dogs have more hair than humans, they are more prone to the problem of dog dander.
Here I would like to remind some dogs that dander may be a symptom of an allergic reaction or skin disease, so be sure to distinguish it from normal dander! What can be done to improve your dog’s dandruff and remove it, below to tell you.
I. Take a shower
A good bath for your dog will go a long way in getting rid of the old flakes that have accumulated on the skin.
Bathing does not have to be too aggressive, basically once every two weeks in summer, once a month in winter is about right, be careful, too frequent bathing may destroy the protective layer of oil on the dog’s coat Oh.
Tips:
1、Bathing with slightly warm water
2, pay attention to avoid the eyes
3, finally remember to blow dry the dog’s wet hair
Second, the use of special hair washing body wash / hair washing essence
If the general shampoo is not effective in removing dandruff, it is necessary to use a special anti-dandruff shampoo that contains a variety of special ingredients. When bathing, let the foam stay on the dog for a few minutes so that the medicinal ingredients can fully play their role.
Tips:
1, do not use human dandruff shampoo for dog bathing, so as not to produce greater stimulation
2, the dog has serious dander, it is best not to use the insecticidal ingredients of the shampoo for their bath, these products will most likely make the skin more dry.

Regular combing of the dog’s coat can make the usual accumulation of old dander and dead hair brush off, but also to help the dog’s skin secretion of natural oil evenly distributed on every inch of the skin, as long as regular combing, many of the problems of dander can be solved naturally.
Tips:

In fact, the tooth comb that people use to comb their hair is very suitable for dogs, and furthermore you can also use a special pet grooming comb.
Five, eat some oil
One reason for the large increase in dander may also be the insufficient amount of oil in the food. That’s why it’s a good idea to add a moderate amount of fish oil for pets to the food, which can help restore normal metabolic function to the skin. Simply adding half a tablespoon or a teaspoon of fish oil each day will show a noticeable improvement.

Six, change the feed
Some poor quality diets do not meet the nutritional needs of the dog and can lead to poor coat health. Many dogs will recover from dander problems after switching to a more specialized diet.
