You just add a little bit to their food every day, and doesn't take much (even for a boxer...it would last forever with a yorkie). It's got omega-3 and omega-6 acids. It took about a month of being on that before I noticed a big difference in Romeo, but now his coat is sooo soft and shiny, where before it was like horse hair. I know you can order different sized bottles from that catalog, and I've also found other brands of basically the same thing in our local pet supply store, so you could probably find it just about anywhere. |
My Boxer has a really bad dry coat and sheds SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH also(words can not express how much that dog sheds) and she gets missing link in her food daily, which doesnt that have omega3 and omega-6?
Maybe I should switch thier foods again. Since both Penny and Chloe get the dry coat. Penny doesnt seem to itch, onlly chloe has the itching but still maybe its the food.
I feed my girls nutro unltra which is completely all natural, no chemicals. So what should I switch their food to for both a boxer and a yorkie with dry coat?
Someone mentioned canidae (sp?) in this thread, will that also be a good food for Penny?
