Yes, I understand that, some humans have dry skin for no apparent reason, its 
the way they are. Yes, tests are expensive, but just bunging these Omega pills 
down the dog isnt the answer either. Soometimes these things are seasonal too, 
as I had a dog with seasonal skin problems. For m e it would be a case of 
discussing with the vet, asking what the options are, and discussing each one 
in depth, which is what I do with all my animals. and then drawing my own 
conclusions, but some arent that way inclined. Most of these so-called remedies 
are harmless I would think, but one does still need to be careful. A friend of 
mine once had a cat with worms, she went to the pet shop and bought wormers, 
which made the cat ill, as they were the wrong sort, so instead of saving money 
which is what she was trying to do, she ended up spending  more as she had to 
take the cat to the Vet any7way to be put right. We are talking about dogs but 
the its the same principle.

  Hello Julia,



  I wish to make a few other comments here, that I stupidly didn’t in my last 
post on this subject.



  It isn’t as straight forward as finding out what is causing the dry skin. 
While I agree it a good idea if one can, it isn’t always the case where a vet 
can work this out. With some dogs it is just far to tricky, no matter what 
tests are done.



  Then there is the cost of these tests, and I had them done with my second dog 
for no results, two vets couldn’t pin down the issue. Part of it could be 
breeding, at the end of the day I was prepared to pay far more for some 
results, but was told there would most likely be none. Some dogs not all, but 
some can just be to complex. Although a person might not know the issue, 
sardines do help.



  Brent.

    Certainly the dry skin, but I doubt the shedding. In conjunction you might 
consider one can of sardines in spring water per week, just put in with the 
food. They also help with dry skin and other issues. I doubt they would do 
anything for the shedding though.

    a friend of mine told me that giving the dogs an omaega 3 capsule in their 
food can cut down on shedding and help with dry skin which callie suffers with 
a bit. have anyone else ever tried this?

        Pam,

        The soft Slicker brush I've got is £4.00 at Pets@Home, though there are 
other models from £3 to £10. Some are dual Slicker and bristle brushes.
