You will be so pleased as you see the skin clear and the new coat come in shiny and healthy looking. It doesn't happen overnight, but you should see it improve each and every day. Best wishes to you and your new baby. It sounds like she is so blessed to be in your care.
Thanks Kim. I think his skin is already starting to get better. Hopefully, it was just the flea medicine, poor grooming, and what I imagine was a terrible diet. Will try the coconut oil.
