Can Dogs Get Dandruff?

[beeniesmom]

Maybe we will start her on Nutro...and...I'll get her a new shampoo this weekend. Honestly we have to bathe her every 2 weeks because she gets into everything. By the time her 2 week bath time is there she has all kinds of stuff in her fur

Just try brushing her every day or every other day and you'll see she will keep cleaner too.

Ok...I'm supposed to brush her everyday anyways...

What kinds of stuff are in her fur?

A bath every 2 weeks is way too often.

If she gets yucky from pottying can you slightly trim the hair around her anus & privates? Even a little trim will help a lot.

Brushing will keep her pretty clean.

If she just smells how about a gentle doggy calogne? Or just a quick wipe with a baby wipe?

They make products that help repel dirt, debris, urine, feces, etc.... on dogs. They are almost like armor all for your dog. lol They work great!
Some names are:
The Stuff
ice on ice

There is another brand that I love but haven't seen in about a year it is called something gold or gold something, I have a tiny bit left in a bottle at home I'll have to remember to check it.

Eh....everything! I'll brush her more often, and I will have ot get her some doggy cologne. Nothing about her pottying that gets stuff in here fur. It actually stays pretty clean, because I keep her hair brushed away from her hiney. I'll just have ot make a trip to Petsmart this weekend!

There are also little wipes you can buy for a quick clean that will clean her fur without giving her a bath. I know they sell them at PetCo and I can't imagine they wouldn't have them at Petsmart, too. Look in the grooming aisle, they sell them in plastic packages that almost look like diaper wipe refills that you get for babies

Yeah, I've seen those...But really why's giving her a bath every 2 weeks bad?

That can make dry skin worse in some cases. It takes all of the natural oils out of their coat.
