I think corn starch would work better, but I've never given a dry bath before.

Why Not Just Purchase A Leave-on Conditioner Formulated For Yor Dog? Also Try Brushing Your Dog More Often. By Doing This You Help Break Away Dead Dry Skin To Reveal His/hers Natural Luster.

I've also heard corn starch works, Ive never tried it. You could also try bathing her once a month with an oatmeal shampoo, that works well on dry skin.

Have never tried bathing a dog with either one of those, also actually would think, might "possibly" cause drying, especially the powder.......have used corn starch if needed, for, whitening on legs etc., if out of actual whitening powder, and some dogs I have found, do great, have had others who actually have gotton fungas infections and skin irritations, just depends on the dog.........oatmeal shampoo, Aloe, moisturizing shampoos might be better, also agree with the brushing, and would'nt bathe your dog to often, that will also dry her coat..........also can give her Salmon, fish oil suppliments etc., JMO
