Does this product help in the dog's skin and coat?

Veterinarians seem to think so, and it certainly seemed to help my dog. When I first rescued her she had sort of a greasy coat and a lot of dandruff. One month of this fish oil and her coat was very sleek and shiny! I constantly get compliments on her shiny coat.

It has many benefits, including skin and coat. Here is a link to more info it it will allow me to post it, it's worth the read...http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/15_9/features/Fish-Oil-Supplements-For-Dogs_20600-1.html

We have 4 dogs of various ages, it really has seemed to make a difference. Our 11 year old is perkier and our girl with dry eyes is not having as many issues. I have become a firm believer. We trade off between this and Krill oil.

It won't cure a skin condition, but it helps a healthy dog maintain good skin and coat. I see slightly less fur balls around the house, but again it's not really an anti-shedding treatment either.

Yes that has been my experience.Every morning she would scratch herself.and shortly after I stared her on the oil the scratching stoped. Evelyn

This works best on dogs that have a double coat. It was designed to remove shedding undercoat and is great for that. So it really depends on what your dog's coat is like. Poodles have wiry outer coat and a dense cottony under coat, so this would probably work.

Yes! Works very well. Used 2-3 times a week for the first two weeks then once a week after. Smells good too. After every bath I put coconut oil on her coat also. Bald spots and scratching are gone completely. Also feeding a grain free holistic diet helps with any other skin issues

I would say yes. Of course, your personal success with the product will depend on the degree/type of dirt you're dealing with as well as your dog's coat, as some dogs shed dirt and odor better than others. I find it to be a very good product for those in-between groomings.

I'm sure it would do a great job...this is superb stuff for my dog....I should bath him at least 2x/week to keep his delicate skin in good condition.

~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin. So your dog should feel more comfortable with less dry skin, and healthier coat. This is a good product, very large amount & will last a long time. Its important for dogs, cats, and humans to have Essential Fatty Oils in their diet anyway. XO I also give my dog Coconut Oil (extra virgin)... I give my dog coconut oil, a spoonful daily on food, and I also rub it on her skin. If your dog as problem areas of skin, or dry areas, or rashes, the coconut oil will soothe it. Very healthy for them to take BOTH these oils daily. I give them to my cats too ! ~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin.

I am not a vet. However, if it were my puppy, I would try it once and she how she reacts. The ingredients are natural and should not hurt living organisms. Then again, every single living organism is unique, so there is a slight chance that every once in a long while a person (or puppy) might have a bad reaction. That is not the norm, but it is also not impossible. The decision will have to be yours alone. My decision, for my puppy, would be to try it. Also to keep her body temperature cool if her itching is from prickly heat. Good luck!

I used the hip, joint and coat for my dog and didn't see and didn't see a difference in her coat.

I don't know partly because I didn't use this product much. After the first couple of weeks, I didn't notice much change in my Greyhound and honestly, it's reached the point where I was spending too much on additives that probably aren't necessary. If my dog exhibited the symptoms your dog is, especially something new, I'd take her to the vet.

Absolutely. I have a black lab mix and the comparison to her on/off her Grizzly Salmon Oil is astounding! When taking it, her coat gets softer, she sheds much less, and stays cleaner longer. A must have for any dog. I don't give praise unless it's due, and this stuff works. Period.

No , not at all , my dogs skin and fur are amazing I'd check a food allergy. Stop using it , then check. My dogs coats are flat out gorgeous. Also any topical tick and flea med can affect skin. Flea collars - other animals.......

From personal experience it works well on skin conditions. Per the Internet it can help with mange, fleas, ticks etx. I would try mixing it in his dog shampoo and see if it helps. You could also mix with a carrier oil with 1:1 ratio. Don't use undiluted on open skin, oozing sites etc.

yes you can put it in their food and put on their coat. I will say putting it on their coat makes the skin very dry. I have been putting trying to keep my dog in lotion and creams because she has such dry skin. I do not know how it will help a dog with mange but it might be worth a try. After about a month of religiously using this stuff at my home it has worked.

No. This spray is simply a topical temporary relief for your pet. After having bought 2 large bottles of this spray, I feel it has been a waste of money.

I am not very sure. I am using it for a few months along with my dogs food regularly. He likes it and eats fast. His skin has no apparent changes though in months. May be i will wait for more time to see the changes to his skin. His scratching is as usual too.

Yes. I used it as described for 2 weeks on my mini doberman and it cleared it up and we have not had any issues since. That was probably 6 months ago.
