*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Dog dandruff is caused by dead, dry skin cells flaking off. The most common causes of this are a lack of moisture in the skin, poor diet and insufficient grooming and care. However, there are other conditions that may be the cause of your dog's dandruff, such as kidney disease and diabetes, although this is very rare. If you are in any doubt as to why your dog has dandruff or the condition looks worse than it should seek veterinary attention.

Mostly dandruff is a simple condition to clear up. If your dog is not getting enough zinc in its diet then the sebum glands in the skin start to overproduce oil. This dries up in clumps on the dog's skin and starts to flake off. There are several methods we can use to stop dog dandruff.

One of them is regular grooming and bathing. Use a good natural shampoo that contains colloidal oatmeal and natural oils such as aloe Vera and tea tree and Zinc PCA. These ingredients have been shown to be highly beneficial for your dog's skin and coat, as they are gentle and help to heal up any hotspots or irritated patches. You should bathe your dog twice a week using this shampoo and you will soon start to see the dandruff disappear and your dog's skin will become more moisturised.

Regular grooming of your dog will also help to remove dead skin and cells that are clumping in the coat. Use a good brush that not only works without hurting your dog but also gently massages the skin as well. This should be done every day if necessary as regular grooming will help to spread the natural oils through your dog's coat, aiding moisturisation.

A good diet will help to stop a lot of dandruff problems on your dog. Poor quality food will not contain the required nutrients and vitamins your dog needs for healthy skin. Also, feeding a completely dry diet with no fat content will dry out your dog's skin very quickly. Try adding a supplement to your dog's diet that contains fish oils such as Omegas, Zinc and vitamins. The combination of all of these ingredients will help to repair your dog's skin from the inside as well as outside.

You can also change your dog's diet to a home cooked one as this will contain all the nutrients and vitamins your dog will need. A supplement containing live enzymes can be added as this will help your dog to properly digest the food he eats and gain the most out of it.

Good health and hygiene is essential to your dog, not just to stop skin conditions such as dandruff but to halt many other, more serious conditions as well. If dandruff is left untreated it will encourage bacterial growth and will lead to more severe conditions such as eczema, yeast infections, hot spots, rashes and sores that require a lot more treatment and will likely cause your dog a lot more pain and discomfort. Preventing it is the best cure but catching it early enough is the next best thing.
