> I have found a couple of things to work well depending of the weather, the

> used the water and bath oil mixture. It's something like one to 1.5 ounces
> to a quarter of water, either will work but make sure that it's a hypo
> allergenic so that you don't create other problems. I've also put a small
> amount of corn oil or fish oil on my dogs food to give them moisture in 
> the
> skin. I only give my dogs one bath a year and make sure that it includes a
> shampoo which contains a moisturizer in it. Then, good old brushing brings
> the oils to the surface of the skin as well as a massage. This is assuming
> that there haven't been any new chemicals added to the dog's environment
> like a different product to clean the rugs, floor, clothing or the like. I

> other, unless it's necessary.
