Does the dog have any doggie odor at all? If so that could mean she possibly has a skin infections that is treatable with antibiotics.

If she doesn't smell bad::::

I had the same problem with my lab and when I took her to the vet, he suggested fatty acid supplements too. It worked great!! Now she is as shiny as a newly shine black boot!!!!! Now we just put a tablespoon of corn oil in one of her meals daily. Does as good as the supplements, but is a whole lot cheaper.

OK,does anybody read any of the consumer reports? Pedigree was #2 and Ol' Roy was #1. My vets have all recommended Pedigree. However after reading Consumer Report and comparing ingrediants on the bags, Ol' Roy came out on top. Had Somewhat the same problem with my three Chocolates and added VitaBites to their diets and all is well. VitaBites are available at Wal-Mart and contain all the extra fatty acids need for a labs skin and coat. Give it a shot for a month. Take a before and after pic and you will definately see the difference. Got some pics from the house the other day (I'm still in Iraq) and my babies look as healthy as can be. You can actually see the flash reflected in their coats.

I could tell a difference after just a week with the condition of my black lab's coat. And everyone that sees her asks me "how do you keep her so shiny?" It is the supplements for sure!!



Hey Mo.....sorry to hear that you are in Iraq!! Are you stationed at Pope AFB or Ft.Bragg? My son is at Pope.

Huntress,
Bragg. This is my third time here. Made it in '90-91, this past Feb-May, and again from Sep until maybe April. All with the Eighty-Deuce. Maybe the third time will be the charm. I know that my old dog is missing me. The kids say she spend most of the day in my chair licking the arm. Maybe that's where I spilled my hot cocoa!!!!!!!!
