Why is it when my 4 yr old siberian husky brushes up against my black pants there is always a white dust on my

pants? Why causes this to happen? What can I do to prevent it from happening?

Your dog has dry skin, which is especially common when they're shedding. Adding a Fish Oil capsule to his food every day will help…I don't agree with bathing, even in oatmeal shampoo or a moisturizer, because this only seems to dry out the skin further. Siberians don't need regular bathing — just regular brushing and a good quality kibble.

Take a look at the dog food you're feeding — that may be the problem, right there.

It's called dander. It's dandruff. Wash and brush the dog more often.

It might be dry skin (dandruff) caused by irritation or scratching. They have moisturizing shampoos you can buy for dogs.

Its probably danderuff from dry skin.
You might try feeding your dog one raw egg per day and add a little olive oil to its food. This will help with the dry skin and your dog will probably like these food additions.
