Winter Dog Grooming: Is Your Pet Itching? Dandruff Could Be the Cause, Learn 5 Prevention Tips

• Dandruff in dogs, common in winter, can stem from allergies, infections, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes, leading to dry, flaky skin.
• Symptoms include constant scratching (sometimes to the point of bleeding), body odor, significant hair loss, and general discomfort.
• Consult a vet before using grooming products, as some chemicals can dry out skin and cause dandruff.
• Regular bathing is crucial for hygiene, but avoid over-bathing to prevent stripping natural skin moisture, which can lead to dryness and dandruff.
• Maintain indoor humidity with a dehumidifier and incorporate Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals into their diet, as advised by a vet.
