Dandruff

Question
Oiver, my 9 year old, 17.5 pound, rescue doxie gets dandruff on his low back each fall/winter.  We feed him Eukanuba for Dachshunds and Old Mother Hubbard treats.  He does not seem to itch.  If you recommend fish oil/egg, please let me know  how much and how to prepare it for my man.  Thanks so much for your help.

Answer
He might have allergies.  I give my dogs salmon oil that you buy in the pet stores - it goes on their food and they love it - amount goes by weight.  You can also try oatmeal baths - there is a shampoo.  Hope that helps!  If it persists or becomes itchy, check with your vet.
