Home remedies for canine dandruff

Dogs can get nasty, tiny, white flakes in your hair, just like people do. Dog Dandruff is an accumulation of dry, dead skin cells and is common in dogs. It is often easy to eliminate dog dandruff with natural home remedies.

Balanced Diet 

Make sure the dog has a balanced diet, which is the right amount of fat, oil, calcium and vitamins. Lack of Vitamin C is often the source of skin problems.

Food Suplements 

Linseed oil can be added to dog food to give omega-3 fatty acids, which are needed to create a healthy rich coating. Other sources of omega-3 fatty acids are the oil and pumpkin fish. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and can provide the dog with a coat free of dandruff. A daily dose of vitamin E - 5 to 10 mg per kilogram of body weight - is acceptable.

Water 

Give the dog plenty of clean, fresh water. If possible, give cool water at each feeding.

Massage 

After brushing the skin, rub lemon juice mixed with vinegar throughout the dog's body. This will help remove dandruff. After the massage, wash the dog with anti-dandruff shampoo.
