Did the dandruff happen right after the bath? My lab gets dandruff after her baths too (the only shampoos that don’t cause dandruff are WAY too mellow….they get zero cleaning accomplished). Since I only bathe her once every 1-2mo, the dandruff doesn’t cause any redness/irritation/itching, and it goes away in a day or two.
If it’s not bathing, maybe adding some fish and/or coconut oil into his diet? I do that for my dogs if their coat seems to be getting dry or flaky. Like whenever I know I’m going to bathe Cassy, I give her an extra dose of oil for about a week before and after the bath, just to make sure her skin keeps producing her balancing oils.
