My terrier would have terrible dandruff during the winter so in addition to using T-Gel I would give her some Flaxseed oil and mix it in her food. It cleared up in no time, could be the combo of the shampoo & Flaxseed but since she was older figured it might be great for her joints as well.

Note what the article says:

Dogs and Cats – Fatty Acid Differences

     Cats cannot convert flax oil or alpha linolenic acid to EPA and DHA; they require fish oils that already contain EPA and DHA. Dogs can convert linolenic acid to EPA and DHA, but this conversion becomes inefficient with age. It benefits all cats and older, or sick, dogs to have EPA and DHA supplied directly with fish oils.
