[nagdu] Dry Skin

Hello All,
I took Anise on Tuesday to get groomed. From what the groomer told me,
she shampooed, conditioned, deeShed, and trimmed Anise's coat.
However, today I was told by someone that she has dandruff. It is
quite noticeable because she is a black lab. I am high maintenance,
and I groom her daily so I don't know if it was the shampoo they used
on her. I haven't called the groomer because they are closed now, and
they won't be back until Monday. I did some research and found that
adding a piece of avocado to her food would help control the problem,
but what do you all think? Has anyone had this happen to them? If so,
what did you do in this situation?
Best Regards,
Juanita And Anise
