What dog food or supplements make my dog's coat shiny and healthy?

I typically recommend using Free Form Snip Tips help keep the skin and coat healthy. If they are too expensive than you could add one teaspoon of coconut oil to her food and see if that helps. If not, than she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause of her skin and coat problem. She could have a skin infection and need an antibiotic. You could also bathe her with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep the coat shiny. I recommend using a product labeled for dogs, which are available in pet stores. These are typically dosed based on weight (larger dogs may require multiple capsules), and are given daily. There are many options available, from liquids to capsules, so you can choose whatever suits you and Marley! I hope this helps and that all is well!

Coat length is determined by genetics so you can't change that. At home you can try giving him an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets and changing the food. There are two brands of food, Royal Canin and Nutro, which are aimed at skin and coat health. Supplements and diet may help to promote a healthy coat. Additionally, conditions such as skin infections, parasites, allergies and endocrine disease will all cause poor hair coats so it's important to make sure Bollubhai is healthy. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

In general, using a high quality brand is the best way to assure that Bear Bear's coat is healthy. Brands that I typically recommend include Science Diet, Purina ProPlan and Royal Canin because these companies conduct extensive clinical studies and analyses regarding their foods and source ingredients appropriately. Continue feeding Bear Bear puppy food until he is 1 year old, then gradually transition to an adult dog food. Anytime you make a diet change, be sure to do so by gradually mixing old and new foods together over 5-7 days. Bathing every 2-4 weeks in a gentle oatmeal based dog shampoo can also be beneficial. If he seems to have dry skin, an omega 3 fatty acid supplement (such as Welactin) can be beneficial. Also, make sure that he is receiving a high quality flea and tick preventative (such as Nexgard, Bravecto or Advantix) regularly.

Hello. The best way to improve hair coat quality is to first make sure no parasites are present (fleas, mites, etc). Then getting him on a good quality dog food. Thirdly, grooming him and brushing him will help improve hair quality. Fish oils can also improve hair quality, however a good diet will be better than this! Good luck!

I recommend giving a fatty acid skin supplement orally to help keep her skin healthy and coat shiny. Fish oil orally will work also. I do not use anything on the skin itself usually unless it's very dry and flaky, then I use a moisturizing grooming spray after a bath with a hypo allergenic shampoo. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Roxy.

I would advise trying a supplement long term and also a healthy coat dog food. The supplement I recommend is fish oil tablets formulated for dogs. These can be purchased form your vet, in pet stores or online. This may some counterintuitive, but less frequency bathing is also recommended. Natural oils produced by dogs are washed away with baths.
