pavman Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 My Lab Astra was taken to the vets as she was licking all the hair from her thighs, turns out she has dry skin and I now have to give her 2X cod liver oil tabs a day to keep it at bay. My granddad used to swear by bob martin condition tablets, and I guess a lot of folk take vitamins. She is on Skinners Field and Trial Muesli, which I soften with a little weak gravy, its says on the sack (all your dog needs for a balanced diet) but should I consider any other supplement?

Hi P, why not get a large bottle of cod liver oil and give a couple of tablespoons in her food? Its cheaper and easier to give, as an aside give her cold tea (made with your old teabags ) this gives a really nice gloss to the coat. Good luck with the prob.

D2D seconded we found a good source was horse food suppliers as it seems people feed it to horses 1 litre costs a couple of quid and we just mix a teaspoon full into the food.
