we bathe titan once a week (granted we are showing everyweek) but he doesn't have dry skin or anything. Try using a TTO shampoo (tea tree oil) or an oatmeal based. We actually use a degreaser on him once every two weeks, and then use an oatmeal shampoo...plus a conditioner every time. He does not shed a lot, he has little to no dander coming off.....and he is soft as can be. Then after he is dry before brushing him we use a leave in conditioner, get it straight gel, and then cowboy magic detangler and conditioner. So perhaps he isn't dry because of the conditioners. When i worked at a grooming salon they had some dogs that came in every three days, and they had no dander or dryness at all. Perhaps it could be the food, perhaps give some omega 3 +6's. That is just from my experience (plus if we don't give Titan a tubbie, he won't get out of the tub! We have lost him 3 times in the house to find him in the tub wanting a bath and he won't get out until you give him one. He seems to actually go in there every thursday or friday...like he knows time!!!) Inbetween baths we use show off rise free shampoo
