Ok, for the past few days I've noticed that Odies skin is dry/drying up. Is there anything I can do to help his dry skin? He feels and looks fine, but its just the skin thats really dry. Any comments are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
 
whoops just saw your location,not sure they deliver there xxxxother than that i can only send my best wishes as i don't know anything as good as there products x
 
Can you ask your vet for a mild skin-soothing shampoo?

I got a gentle one for dogs/cats from my vets to use for when Dizzy suffers from dry skin at the beginning of the heating season.

Make sure, though, that it is not fungal, as it can look pretty similar!
 
i agree with vickyt i originally thought Boris had just dry skin because it was white and flakey,
i did remember that lavender is soothing for dry skin,one of my GG products has this in it,so maybe you could ask the vet about thatxxxx

thanks it must have been another site i read that:red
well then i would highly recommend the Lavender and Myrrh lotion,it has softened Boris's skin like you wouldnt believe:)
 
Ok, Ill take a look into that, btw is it quite expensive? >.< Well again, thank you all for the information. I think the dry skin has been bugging him somewhat. :(
