Hello Evolution Pets, I have a 3 year old mix, mostly beagle, that up until a few month back had a very health coat. Now he is developing dog dandruff and I am looking for a cure. We have not switched our dog food, as I have read that that can be a cause.
When we first noticed the dandruff we though it was stress, as this sometimes would cause flaking on his coat. But then the dandruff and flaking just kept getting worse, and now he has very dry skin and is always itching his paws and and belly. Do you think we are looking at dog dandruff, or perhaps skin allergies?
Assuming that it is dandruff on his skin, what treatment, or diet would be best. Is there a lotion or shampoo that we can use to clear it up?
Thanks so much!!! Jamie!

Great question Jamie. You mentioned that your pet just began to get dandruff. This is the interesting part because something must have triggered it. You are spot on looking for nervousness, anxiety, or even dog depression as these cause temporary contact dandruff, but it goes away.
I suspect that a skin irritation that needs to be cleared up will correct the problem. Begin using RenuPlex, the medicated zinc dog shampoo. Use it twice and you should see the dandruff just about gone. After the 3rd application it should be all gone. The RenuPlex conditioners will also repair and damage and bring his coat back to shinny life! Thanks and good luck!
