Anyway, I was realizing he gets a pretty low-fat diet, with adult dog food and meat treats. Sometimes his hair is kind of dry, so I was wondering if he could go onto puppy food. He does seem to prefer it (Halo). Or maybe it's just the novelty. I picked up a bag of puppy food by accident and I keep that at work, so he gets the puppy food a few times per week.
milu used to have dry skin as well, and she had a spot on her ear where it is extremely dry. (flaky skin) i started adding Ark Natural Royal Coat (fish oil and vit. E) to her food and now her skin is not so dry like it used to be. i think it will help with thor's coat as well if you add the Ark Natural Royal Coat to his food.
