My Golden Retriever has very dry skin. Can someone tell me what to do to try to cure his problem skin?
His skin is so dry that it looks like he actually shed. He has not been neutered, and he's always hot spots. I've had him to the vet several times and they give him antibiotics and antihistamines, which help, but if the drugs are done, it's back to square one. I would like some advice from someone who is Golden and their special Needs known. Thank you!
So far you have received some helpful answers, but I am sure that is the root of the problem, his diet is Golden. It is very important to scrutinize the label and check the ingredients. Even some so-called "premium" pet foods contain questionable ingredients. I am almost certain that your pet is the problem stems from a kind of corn by-product in its chow. Corn by-products are used by pet food companies as a cheap filler and Protien Source. Stay away from all foods, the corn anywhere in the ingredient list. Even so-called premium brands such as Iams and Eukanuba are not from corn would product.I recommend, lamb-based pet dogs with sensitive skin may either have problems with it. Try a chicken based kibble, such as wellness. A good alternative if you do not afford $ 40 for a 40-pound bag Costco spa is super-premium brand. It does not have any corn by-product and has great additaves as mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) and omega 3 and 6 Both ingredients are maintnance excellent for skin and coat. So, try to bathe your dog too often. All 90 days or longer is best. Chemicals Dog shampoos rob the dogs skin and coat of vital oils that protect it and keep it shiny. A whole raw egg is to be treated well, the jacket maintnance Now all is beneficial and you should treat your dog to a salmon steak, your pet will love it floats and the salmon with omega-3 a.m. to 6 p.m. and other fatty acids. Another alternitave is the BARF diet or Bones and Raw Food. Dogs with skin problems are usually well on this diet, but it has to be expensive and may not for a beginner. If you BARF pursue the path, looking for a pet nutritionalist that can help you formulate a diet for your pup.
