QuestionMy one year old lab has terrible dry skin on his back and side of leg. he's constantly scratching or biting. when i comb him loads of flaky skin come to surface. Is there anything I can try? I have 2 they are both inside most of the time, I've tried over the counter benzines? and hydrocortisone. Thanks for any suggestions.
AnswerI follow a regimen of feeding a decent chow and little else, frequent brushing with a soft bristled brush, and seldom if ever bathing the dog. My dogs don't have skin or odor problems. Same with many other people I know. If the above leaves your dogs with problems, likely the vet will have to solve them.
