| Dry skin I was brushing my little girl today and noticed that she has alot of dry skin, looks like dandruff or a babies cradle cap. Has anyone else had this problem? She doesn't seem to be bothered by it or itchy. What would you recommend??? Thanks, Lynne

| Jewels and chachi used to have this too. I give them Missing Link it is good for the skin and coat. I get at Petsmart. Jewels my female has a real shiny coat. You might want to use an oatmeal shampoo for a while also.

| It is a suppliment that has Omega Fatty Acids in it. You sprinkle a teaspoon on their food a day. It has to be refrigerated after you open it.

| Edie takes vitacaps from Drs. Smith and Foster. Cindy gives her pups salmon oil. Both are rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids which are good for the skin. I recommend that you try something like this and give it at least 4-6 weeks before you see results. Edie likes the vita caps so she just eats it right out of my hand like a treat... |
