Dry skin solitions?

[Sinister Little Duckie]

I have seen some solutions that can be placed in the dog's food which are supposed to help dry skin, but I can't remember for the life of me what it's called.... any ideas?

vitimin E or fish oil caplets will do the trick! you will see a difference in less than a week.

I had real problems with Ben's skin due to his starvation by the previous owner and found a brilliant feeding oil which gave great results quickly. It's brand name is ExmaRid dry skin formula. I am Uk based however and do not know about availibility elsewhere.

I had good results with a fish based food.

Feed plenty of good whole foods, such as turkey, chicken, beef, black beans, kidney beans, green beans, yogurt, part of bananas, pumpkin (canned), squash, sweet potatoes, Mayo, and infant vitamins, one dropper full for a large 100 pound or more dog and half that for a fifty pound dog, and 1/4 that for a 25 pound dog, etc.

Oatmeal is very good for getting ride of the dry skin of the pet so put about a cup of oatmeal in a bowl and soak in water as much as you want. Then, collect water from that and pour it on the skin.

I feed Arcadius Acana Grasslands and it has Omega 3s & 6’s, however I still give him additional Omegas for large breeds. I also give him Ester C, it’s like viatamin C but I think it’s better.
