Bull Mastiffs dry skin

[kerriesmum]

My 3 year old Bull Mastiff has dry flaky skin. She is scratching quite a lot (not fleas!)
does anyone have any tips on what i can do to improve the condition of her coat ?

Hiya.Kronch Salmon Oil (I get mine for my lab on Ebay) daily on her food or a capsule of Evening Primrose Oil will help.Or a tin of sardines in oil once a week (not brine as it's too salty) Also make sure she is on a good food that isn't full of colourings and preservatives..that may make her itch too. Good luck Kerriesmum

My westie has skin problems but seems to have improved since I gave him Fish4Dogs snacks. Not only do they seem to help his skin but he loves them as well.

Oh and I also changed him to organic dog food.............

You can also get doggie shampoo especially for dogs with itchy skin ether from vets or pet shops.

My Mastiff also has dry skin so I gave him a tin of sardines in olive oil on Monday. Not sure if it's all in the mind but his skin seems better and coat feel softer already so I'll keep it up once a week.

Thanks for all the tips,she has been on oily fish a couple of times this week and her coat seems to be improving.
