Itchy skin
Hi all, I know staffys can be prone to skin problems and was wondering what would be the best thing to give to keep Mia's skin in tip top condition? She isn't itchy so it would be a preventive measure rather than a cure. Many thanks

Re: Itchy skin
Coconut oil and salmon oil added to food are both good for the skin and coat Coconut oil can also be rubbed into the coat.

Yep, I agree. Coconut oil, salmon oil are great for keeping the coat healthy & shiny.
Apple cider vinegar is also good for general health, along with turmeric.

Re: Itchy skin
Are you able to add some sardines or a raw egg to the food every now and then, this will keep the skin and coat in good condition
