You have noticed that your dog’s skin is getting a bit dry. Why is this?

Your dog’s skin is very sensitive and needs to be properly cared for. If it seems a bit dry, you will want to figure out what’s going on to prevent the problem from getting worse and help your pet’s skin get back on track. Make sure he is well-hydrated, as his skin needs him to consume plenty of water if it is to stay healthy. Consider the products you are using on him, as some of these may be drying his skin out a bit. Overbathing could be another issue, so cut back a bit if you think this is the case. Your pet’s veterinarian can make additional suggestions if his skin still seems to be dryer than it usually is. For more information, please contact your local Bolingbrook, IL veterinarian.
