[Dailydrool] skin/coat

[Jennifer Martin]

Lots of things can cause a dry coat.  But, I would start by looking at how much fat is in Jace's food.  You need to have at least 10% fat in there and I have better luck with about 12%.  My dogs have dry skin due to allergies so I also add an Omega 3 fatty acid supplement to their food.  I use Grizzly Salmon Oil, but there are plenty of good ones out there.  Then, look at your shampoo.  You want a dog shampoo that is moisturizing, soap free and has conditioners.  There again, there are plenty of good ones on the market.  I personally use Tropiclean Papaya Plus.  Lots of people like oatmeal shampoos, but they are not appropriate if you have a dog allergic to oatmeal (like I do).  Hope this helps!
