Dandruff Close to Show Day

Hi all,

My boy and I are off to a show this weekend and he has developed a mild case of dandruff. I am guessing it is to do with the winter weather. He has a great coat and I have never dealt with this issue before.

I bet that bathing will make it worse right?

Is there anything I can do besides lots of brushing with a rubber curry to bring the oils up in his coat?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Laura

I have heard that Listerine sprayed on the coat and rubbed into the coat does the trick... I've never tried it, and don't ask me how it works.

Re: Re: Dandruff Close to Show Day

I use a 50/50 mixture of Listerine. It works great. I lightly spray it on the coat and then briskly towel dry. Make sure you don't get it on their face. It will sting in the eyes and they do NOT like the taste either.

Thanks so much folks!

What on earth is in that Listerine anyway? It makes me laugh. I wonder who thought to try it first!
