puppy dandruff

[nighttrain]

Hi, my puppy is 11 weeks old. My uncle and I bathed her with some all natural oatmeal shampoo in lukewarm water, but she has dandruff.... what might be the cause for this ? and what are some ways to fix it... she is currently on Nutro puppy for large breed.

It could be from the bath. How often are you bathing her??
It also could be the food?? Nutro is not a bad food, but you could try a better quality food and her coat may improve. Many of the members here feed their pups/adults Innova, Canidae, Wellness, California Natural,etc. These foods contain more meat and less grains. Also I think the Large Breed Puppy Nutro is full of corn...this often causes itchies at well as dandruff.

I dont really bath her that often... because she doesn't ever smell or get too dirty...I was told to only bath them when really neccessary (real dirty)... I thought Nutro was the best, so I got her that... I noticed that a lot of people on the forums said that Innova caused loose stools.... what would you say is the best? I've heard really good things about Canidae... i guess this goes back to the topic of... what the best food is for my puppy
