Title: Advice please re dry skin
Post by: janandted on February 04, 2012, 01:48:07 PM
Mollie has dry skin on her back......so much so that her hair looks grey over her back  :huh: She had a small amount early january but that seemed to improve,now it is much worse  :-\
Mollie has just finished her first season,she is raw fed and has oily fish twice a week,at the moment raw Mackeral  :P the only treats she has other than raw carrot is a gravy bone after grooming and one when she goes to bed  ;) I use advocate monthly which she had on the 18th Dec and again January.
We are in Spain for the winter and on a camp site....i have given her tap water  :-\ She is also out in the sun most of the day  :P
My question is..... does anyone know what could have caused it ? and any advice please.
I have today started giving her bottled water in case it is the chemicals in tap water here. Could it be the sun or the Advocate ?? :dunno: Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Jan

Hi, Have you tried the aromesse range of products? I have found their Dermacton range fantastic for my Wheaten terrier who also suffers from dry skin on her back. I also love the smell!
