Beardo Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 i wonder if it's an age thing - mine's that same age as yours - she just started getting thin patches of hair and dandruff about 6 months ago. certainly worth a try with the fish as it worked a treat with Lola.

bull dog Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I will add fish to her diet can't do no harm I have also got some local honey to add to. Her food and 2 spoons of piriton mixed in a splash of milk in case it is a grass allergy thank you for your advice we can only try all the best bull dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDFrain Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Could be worth looking into the protien levels in the food. Try a lower level food maybe skinners. You could also give her a good wash with some dermopt shampoo JDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenntay Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Some dog react to certain brands of food like this try a different food to see if it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
