Really need some advice for my friend as she doesn't know where to start on forums etc. I think puppy is on James Wellbeloved puppy food and is otherwise very healthy and happy.
Thanks for any advice.  |
Could I recommend adding 1 teaspoon a day of salmon oil to his diet. I bought some for Hedley and its made a real difference to his coat, it was a bit harsh before, but now its shiny and silky. It says on the bottle its for dogs with itchy flaky skins. I just drizzle it on his dry food and he loves the taste of it. I use fish4dogs oil, but there are other brands available online. Dont get Head and Shoulders! It might not suit him. Use the mildest products you can.
