| I got the capsules from my vet cause Bailey was so dry and itching. It seems to help him. I pierce one capsule a day and put it on his food. He likes it too. So do the cats.

| I highly recommend Eicosaderm by Dermapet. It comes in a bottle pump and in capsules. www.dermapet.com

| 3V Caps are also very good. That's what my vet recommends. They also have Vitamin E: http://www.entirelypets.com/3vcapski..._utmk=36035041 |

| I also wash my Max a lot,a whole lot and he doesn't get the itches or flakes.maybe you could just rinse him real good and or just use conditioner to wash him when you have to .this is what I do and to date(knock on wood)no itches and flakes.

| Thanks everyone!! I am going to be purchasing something soon. I talked to the vet and she suggested any pill with Omega-3 in it and a shampoo with fatty acids from fish. I'll have to look into everyone's suggestions and see which one sounds the best. I really wish I didn't have to give her a bath that much, but she gets poop matted into her hair and it's everywhere!! By the time I get home, there is nothing I can do but give her a bath.
