| I first thing I would try for a dull coat is fish oil and vitamin e since it worked for Ellie.

| From any health store, make sure you also give vitamin e though because they use it to process the oil. |

| I'm a big fan of Missing Link. My Shepherds always had the most beautiful coats and I can already tell a difference in Lucy's since I started her on it.

| We are Missing Link fans here as well! Both of my girls had dull coats and itchy skin before we started using it. They're gorgeous and itch less now
