Does anyone know how i cant get Charlie's coat to shine a little more? Maybe its supposed to be like this, but its a little bit dull to me.

i give my 11 month old doodle babies cod liver oil everday in their food - a teaspoon, works a treat and good for their joints aswell!!

some good spray on conditioners for their coat - which have addes vitamins also works well

good luck

Hi! I would not feed a commercial kibble and too much cod liver oil because of the amount of Vitamins A and D. Fish body oil is a much better choice for Omega 3 fatty acids without having to worry about vitamin toxicity. Just look for a bottle that says Omega 3 or fish body oil, and not liver oil.

or try BARF diet instead of normal dry food so much better for them - its a natural way and is actually a lot easier to do than first thoughts!

go to this fantastic website

www.barfworld.com

my Leyla had bad skin and and they both were quite agressive when playing whe they were pups, when we switched to a natural diet they have had no health problems and are doing really well. It is at first a lot to take in and study before doing it 's advice ( who was very helpful) honestly the effects are superb we have healthy happy skiny pups!!

I would not feed BARF, but I do feed my dogs raw. I was making the suggestion to the original poster not to feed a kibble-fed dog cod liver oil and opt for fish body oil instead. Most of the fish body oil you buy in the store has a higher concentration of Omega 3's anyway.

That or you could try switching to a different food... Natural balance has fish and sweet potato blend that some people I have talked to swear by for a shiny coat.

I love "Buddy Splash." I spray it on George and Grace and comb it through. They smell heavenly and it really makes their coats shiny and soft.
