| Dream Coat?? Has anyone used "Dream Coat" Food Supplement for their furbabies? It says it is a liquid Food Supplement that says to be pure oils, supplying all the essential fatty acids needed to create a full, lustrous shiny coat and smooth, healthier skin. Moose seems to be itching/scratching a lot. I have checked him for fleas...and no fleas. The lady at the pet boutique recommend this. What do you think? I can list ingredients if needed. Thanks a bunch, Linda

| I bought it at a local pet boutique. It says its for Dogs, Cats and birds. 1/2 tsp mixed on food once daily for dog 2-11 lbs. Moose is almost 12 lbs. She told me to start with 1/2 tsp for a week then go up to 1 tsp.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Linda - call your vet and read to him the ingredients, etc., and see if he says OK for Moose to take...I'm sure it is but to be on the safe side what could it hurt to call him. Puppy kisses from Izzy to Moose.

| I'm trying Dream Coat here,, the girls LOVE it,, we're half way thru a 16 oz bottle and so far i see no decerable difference,, aside from the smell of it they get on them,, but i'm thinking it will take longer for it to really show itself in their coat,, heres hoping!!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hello! I'm not the biggest fan of this bc it contains allergens - so, while trying to give a beautiful coat, you could be doing just the oppositve. It contains flax, which is a grain derivative - many dogs cannot convert it, so not only do they get no fatty acids from it, but it also then makes them itchy. Also contains soy, wheatgerm etcetera - so just beware. If you're looking for a coat booster (fatty acids) I'd recommend a pure fish oil w/ vitamin E like Eicosaderm from www.vetamerica.com.

| I have not used it but a friend of mine has. She had an older cat who got sick - multiple problems. Then the cat started losing chunks of hair - she was going bald. The vet said it was irreversible. My friend would not give up and she found Dream Coat on the web and gave it to her cat. Within weeks, the cat had a wonderful coat of fur again. So, there must be something good in if the vet said nothing could be done and a simple supplement did the trick. |
