Lately you’ve noticed that his skin has been a bit dry. Why would this happen?

Dry skin on your dog can be caused from many of the same reasons that dry skin arises on your own body. Changes in the level of moisture in the air can contribute, so be conscious of the seasonal changes in your area as this may be the culprit. Your dog may also be impacted by a lack of natural oils on his skin due to over washing. Try bathing him less and see if it clears up. If this doesn’t seem to help, look at all the products your pet regularly comes into contact with. There may be something that is drying his skin out a bit. Your local Wake Forest, NC vet clinic can help you care for the pets in your home.
