Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction.

| So, I went to brush my husky today and to use a rinse-less shampoo on him only to realize that for the first time ever he has crazy dandruff. Any ideas on why and on how to address this? |

| The only time I've used a rinseless shampoos was when I had a spaniel who got hot spots just above her tail. She liked to go play in the bayou and came home muddy & smelly, The vet thought that my constant washing of her after these 'play trips' were exacerbating the hot spots and recommended a 'dry shampoo' - it didn't do anything good for the hot spots and anytime she'd shake it looked like a snow storm.
My thought at the time was that either the shampoo was leaving some residue behind that she was shaking off or that there was a residue that aggravated the tendency of spaniels to have dandruff. You pays your money and takes your choice on that.
I've been down here on the desert for more than 8 years and my dogs don't get bathed - they don't need it. Many of our dogs don't get more than the sporadic bath - in general they don't need one, dirt generally just falls off. 'Course, rolling in some things mean they need a bath now! _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| My gsd has dandruff and like al im in the desert my dogs only get a bath if its absolutely necessary. Ive been messaging coconut oil into his coat. It seems to help and makes him really shiny and handsome. Come to think about it the closest thing shadow has had to a bath was after he went swimming i shampooed him up then took him back swimming.
Spider gets dandruff when she blows her coat and the vet says its common when hair comes off in clumps. |

| Is this the first time using a dry shampoo? If so, then more than likely it's the shampoo coming off. Dry shampoos (most anyway) function by going on, absorbing extra oil and grime in the hair, and brushing out. You would need to observe what is coming off to decide if it's shampoo or actual dandruff. It could also be seasonal allergies. This has been a strange year for weather a bit. Lot of moisture and humidity.
For now I would address by brushing often to loosen it all up and move it and any extra loose hair along. Stop using the shampoo to see if that makes a change. If it doesn't you may look at adding some fish oil/vitamin E to the diet and massaging coconut oil in as was mentioned above. _________________ |
