Topic Dog Boards / Health / Puppies with Scurf

Hi,

I have a litter of short coated puppies, they have incredibly thick fur (take after their dad) but i've noticed they are quite scurfy/dandruffy. They are three weeks old and i've just started to wean them - they're having lactol with baby rice. Any ideas how i can get their coats glossy and shiny!!!

Try running your fingers up from tail to neck and if a line of scurf appears and they shudder or scratch then they may have 'walking dandruff' or Cheyletiella Mites. This is a highly contagious mite which only responds to Frontline spray- not spot -on it must be spray.
If this is not the case then a spoonful of good cooking oil on top of their food works well.

Cooking oil is very good as tooolz has already mentioned!
