Answer 2

as little as a tble spoon of cod liver oil (pure) on there food is good. But you should really find out what kind of skin problem the dog has first...If the dog suffers from something called HOT SPOTS it doesn't work and your dog could have exzeama. That could be treated with medicated shampoos...Always best to get a VETS option first before you try anything on your pet

Answer 3

lamb is the best for skin and fur problems. also try an oatmeal bath every 3 to 4 weeks. a humidifier is great in the winter for dry skin in animals.

Answer 4

You can buy the vitamin supplement with fish oil in it for dogs. I use Spring Valley brand fish oil caplets for mine.

Answer 5

I give my dog sardines out of a tin!!
Fresh sardines aren't really that expensive, but you have to gut/clean/cook, so out of a tin is fine.
I'm not saying that it will cure your dogs coat and skin problem, but it will help.
