Recommended Posts

I have only had him a couple of weeks and the food he is on was recommended is salmon and potato its a dry food but you can add water if needed.. ( I also had my springer on the same feed )

He gets fed once a day he gets 280 grms a day as recommended and he weights 13.5 kilo when he was weighted at the vets when i first got him..

So don't think he's getting to much food..

To much food causes this........

 

(Quote Hawkeye) ... he is on was recommended is salmon and potato its a dry food...

 

Ok then the food is to rich either way this is what causes exactly the same in my cockers and this is exactly the cause the vet told me yrs ago and when food gets cut flaky skin dissapears........

 

Interesting.

 

My cocker bitch is also on Salmon & Potato (Simpsons) which she loves and sometimes gets a bit of dandruff.

 

I wouldn't consider her overweight (the vet said if you can feel their ribs, they're ok) - although she is a tad heavier than during the shooting season - but I'll try cutting her food down a bit.

 

Thanks.

Rocco is certainly not over weight if anything he's a bit on the skinny side...

 

Have bought some salmon oil to try the chap at the food store said it could help we will see he seems to love it...

Could just be it's coat is thick and it needs a really good brush to allow oxygen get to its skin, especially if it's got any matts in its fur.

 

Thats not a problem he has been trimmed out and gets brushed regularly..started to give him gluten free food with a drop of salmon oil seems to be an improvement, time will tell..
