image for:Benefits Of Natural Herbs For Dog Dandruff

Does your pup have dog dandruff?

Additionally, they may also have:

  • Occasional dry, lusterless coat
  • Fine, powdery dander
  • Mild itch
  • Mild skin lesions

Skin issues are frustrating and a cause for concern.

Moreover, because a dog’s skin is an indication of its overall health, poor skin condition indicates poor health.

Approximately 160 different skin disorders affect dogs of every age, size, and breed.

Dog skin disorders stem from many different causes.

What Causes Dog Dandruff?

Dog dandruff may be a symptom of an underlying health condition.

Therefore, check with your veterinarian to ensure your pup is otherwise healthy.

Allergic Reactions

Firstly, dogs can experience allergies from:

  • Fleas
  • Changing seasons
  • Food

Also, allergies can cause dry, itchy skin. As a result, dogs get dandruff.

Moreover, allergies also include symptoms such as:

  • Itching or scratching
  • Licking his/her feet
  • Scooting
  • Shaking his/her head from ear infections
  • Getting repeat hotspots
  • Licking his/her belly
  • Drainage from the eyes (dog eye allergies)
  • Continually sneezing

Skin Infections

Firstly, skin infections from allergies can also cause dog dandruff.

Secondly, seasonal allergies cause your dog to have itchy skin.

Lastly, itchy skin causes your dog to lick and scratch.

Endocrine Disorders

Early-stage Cushing’s Disease may cause symptoms such as:

  • Dog dandruff
  • Thinning skin
  • Skin infection or hot spots
  • Comedones (blackheads)
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Calcinosis cutis (calcium deposition in the skin)
