Does your dog have dry, flaky, and often irritated skin? If so then your dog could be suffering from dry skin or even a food allergy. They best thing to do is call your vet to schedule a checkup. Your vet can help determine whether it’s dry skin or another medical condition. Typically, dry skin can be caused by an allergic reaction to something in the environment, a flea bite, or even a change in your dog’s diet (especially if you just changed his food). No matter the cause, dry skin can be fairly uncomfortable and chances are your dog could use some soothing relief. There are different home remedies that can help soothe your dog’s dry skin. Ask your vet before trying remedies such as sprinkling olive oil on your dog’s food one to two times a month or using a moisturizing shampoo.
