Wondering if anyone gives their dog oatmeal baths, and how do you do it or
what product do you use? How often do you give it to them, and how many baths
do you give before you notice your dog's skin is not so dry? Thanks in
advance for any help!!

I have used Aveeno. There is a powder form in the pharmacy section of the
stores. I give the baths as often as needed. If the dog has lesions, I use
it every other day. If it is just for itchy skin, once a week is fine. I
don't get overly fancy. I get oatmeal shampoo from the vet, as well as any
pet
supply place. These can be used daily if need be. If you use the human
Aveeno, do be careful as it makes the tub extremely slippery. Use a bath mat.
If
it is only dry skin, I use an oil (corn, vegetable, salmon, fish--any of
them) in their food as a supplement. 1 to 2 tablespoons is all. Keeps them
from
getting flaky and itchy. I'm not sure how you feed, but since I use raw
chicken, they get extra fats from the meats/skins. If you don't use raw,
canned
cat food provides extra oils and fats too, and it is cheap! Don't have to
get fancy with that either. The fish ones are best, as they also provide extra
antioxidants in those oils. I try to keep things simple.
