Dog with white debris on its body

The white debris on the dog's body may be shed skin cells, and it may also be caused by the dog's fur getting contaminated with paper fragments. The causes of this situation may include poor hygiene, dry weather, vitamin deficiency, eczema, and parasite infections. It is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular pet hospital for inspection as soon as possible, and make targeted treatments based on the inspection results, which may help alleviate the symptoms.

  1. Poor hygiene

If the owner does not pay attention to the dog's hygiene and does not bathe the dog frequently, it may lead to the dog's fur contaminated with a lot of paper debris and other pollutants. It usually also causes the skin secretions to accumulate in the fur, resulting in white debris. It is recommended to properly bathe, brush, and trim the dog's fur, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms.

  1. Dry weather

If the weather is dry for a long time, and the owner does not moisturize the dog's skin, it may cause the dog's skin to become deficient, leading to excessive dryness, peeling, and other symptoms. It is recommended to apply pet-specific moisturizing cream to the dog, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms.

  1. Vitamin deficiency

A dog's diet is usually quite monotonous. If the owner does not pay attention to the dog's balanced diet, it may cause the dog's body to lack vitamins, resulting in rough skin, peeling, and small scales. In daily life, you can let the dog eat some food rich in vitamins, such as fruit puree and vegetable puree, which is beneficial to alleviate the symptoms.

  1. Eczema

It is suspected to be caused by the owner using low-quality shampoo when bathing the dog. Using shampoo usually irritates the skin, causing the skin barrier to be damaged, and causing redness, peeling, and white scales. It is recommended to take the dog to a regular pet hospital as soon as possible, and make targeted treatments based on the inspection results.

  1. Parasite infection

If the owner does not disinfect the dog's living environment for a long time, parasites may breed, causing the dog to be infected with parasites, resulting in itching, hair loss, and dandruff. It is recommended to take the dog to a pet hospital as soon as possible, and seek the doctor's help to treat the parasites through external deworming.

In daily life, the owner should pay attention to the dog's hygiene, and regularly bathe the dog to keep the dog's skin dry and clean, which is beneficial to alleviate the symptoms.
