| I found a couple of articles on fish oil. This one talks about the benefits and dosage of fish oil. Here's another one I see that it helps skin, health, etc...no mention of coat that I saw yet, but if the skin and the dog are healthier, then usually the coat is too.

| Thanks Thanks. Sadie's been scratching a lot. She eats natural balance potatoe & duck and gets no people food. (well maybe little bits of cheese) She gets a bath every 10 to 14 days. Her hair seems dull & dry. There is also a lot of breakage. I also think I'll try the splash & shine products. I use Harry Barkers Shea Butter 2n1 shampoo & conditioner along with Ice on Ice detangler & finishing spray. I'll research more on the fish oil & vita. B |

| Do you use the capsules or bottle of fish oil? Also, I only started feeding fish oil awhile ago...I should also feed vitamin E pills to them? Is there any other supplements that I should feed them? Thanks! |

| I use the soft gel caps. I just poke a hole and squirt it on her food. If any one could give any other suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks! |
