Try adding a little cod or salmon liver oil to his food (just a teaspoon two or three times a week), and/or give him a tin of sardines in oil or tomato sauce a couple of times a week.

Depending how much you want to spend, you could also try this...

It's very good.

Well, you can, but it'll be very messy! It's best to treat the symptoms from the inside if you can. As I said before, Yumega is a very good supplement & is good for skin dryness etc.

Try using tea tree oil shampoo as it is a natural antiseptic formula and kind on their skin.

My eldest Zeus had dandruff as a baby and I have used the tea tree on him along with the following oils as supplements:

Omega 3 1000mg - 3 a day for 2 weeks, 2 a day for a week then one daily
Evening primrose oil 500mg 1 a day
Odurless garlic 200mg 2 a day.

These oils are both good for skin condition as well as joint care.

I found that the omega 3 oil works far better than cod liver oil and all the above 3 are easily sourced (homebargins) and cost less than £3 a bottle and last a long time.

Its worth a try and should make a big improvement to coat condition hun

Surely it's best not to shampoo too often, though? Any shampoo will strip oils from the coat.

I only ever shampoo when the dogs are stinky, have been in salt water or have rolled in anything funky.

I never bath them regularly, sometimes b4 a special show as an extra but not regular at all.

Think i have bathed mine twince in 2 years!!! Stinky I know but its better for them

Yes hun they are in capsules, similar to cod liver oil. The omega 3 is a fairly large capsule mind but mine just eat them all like sweets out your hand!!
