All dogs can experience dry itching skin but especially the Yorkshire terriers. Remedying dry itching skin can be done easily and effortlessly in your own home. As a pet owner you will first want to find out the cause of the dry itching skin and do whatever it takes to relieve your pets uncomfortable scratching.

The first thing you should look at is the kind of shampoo you have on hand. It should be tearless shampoo made especially for dogs and not some inexpensive over the counter harsh shampoo. These inexpensive shampoos can be too harsh for their coats as well as their skin stripping it of natural oils. Never use shampoo meant for humans because your Yorkie’s pH levels are quite different. Another point to remember about your Yorker’s coat it is a lot like human hair, they are single-coated dogs, meaning they do not have an undercoat making them more sensitive to dry and itching skin.

The next place you should take a look at is your Yorkie’s dietary plan. Research shows that supplementing your dog’s diet with fish oil can be beneficial for such conditions that affect his coat and skin and also other inflammatory conditions which will be the subject of another article. Or you can find foods that are rich in omega3 fatty acids.

One other area to check is your own backyard. There are many types of grasses and shrubs that could be the culprit in causing your Yorkie’s skin disorder. Simply solution would be to take your Yorkie elsewhere to walk and socialize or by removing the irritating shrubs. Caring for your Yorkshire terrier should be a healthy happy and rewarding experience for him and one that you can easily and effortlessly remedy at home.
