Walking Dandruff and Other Parasites
Cheyletiella mites are large enough to be seen with the naked eye, and look very similar to white dandruff flakes. Like other external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and Demodex and Sarcoptes mites, these unwelcome guests live and feed on your dog's skin, and will cause him to be very itchy.
Issues with Nutrition and Obesity
Your dog may be deficient in nutrients that are necessary for the health of his skin and coat due to an inappropriate diet. Ensure that the food you are feeding your dog is of the highest calibre and is balanced. Some dogs benefit from supplementary dietary supplements of fatty acids like omega-3s and omega-6s because they have a function in skin health. But before adding anything new to your dog's food, it's crucial to see your veterinarian.
As you are aware, obesity increases your dog's risk for a wide range of illnesses. Poor skin health is only the beginning.
Skin Infections
Additionally, bacterial and fungal skin infections can result in dandruff. These little invaders might also leverage the skin's vulnerability as a result of your dog's other health issues to spread an infection. Bacterial and fungal infections need to be treated properly to restore your dog's skin to a healthy state, regardless of whether the dandruff or the skin infection appeared first.
Allergies
Food and environmental allergies in dogs usually manifest as skin problems. Affected dogs may be itchy during particular times of the year, suffer from chronic ear and skin infections, or constantly lick their paws. Dandruff is usually just one symptom of a dog with allergies.
Hormonal Conditions
Diseases such as hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease can cause changes in your dog's skin health. A weakened immune system will also make him more vulnerable to secondary infections.
Symptomless Seborrhea
The term "idiopathic" or "spontaneous" is used when we don't know the exact aetiology of seborrheic dermatitis in some cases. When a dog's flaky skin has an unknown aetiology, it can be relieved symptomatically and further maintenance care can be given as required.
