Dandruff
Hi Guys, We have started to notice when we walk Roxy she seems to be getting alot and I mean alot of dandruff around the collar area and only in this area, we use an ezydog collar on her.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Re: Dandruff
Pixee use to suffer with this when we first had her, what I have noticed, around this time of the year, she tends to get it abit, dont know if its the weather? I am using coconut oil in her food, and she gets more fish too, that generally does the job. And of course I brush her twice a week instead of once, this seems to help get rid of it.

Re: Dandruff
Is it definitely flaky skin, could it be oils rubbed into little bits by the collar? Might look similar and explain why its only around the collar.
