One of my nurses has an atopic dog and Sue Paterson recommended this-

Seems to really help with the pruritis.

There's some new ones out on the market by the same people who make the "bon appetit" food flavour enhancer sprays, omega oils that you spray onto the food.

The company were really nice at congress, gave me a free sample of every bottle to try on clients.

You can get them fron NVS too.

Hi Emma,

Would cod liver oil be an option or even aloe vera? I have heard great reports on skin and hair condition when pet owners have used either of them as a supplement in their diet daily.

Worth a try, eh?

Agreed on the Aloe Vera, Forever Living Products are great and they have some great stuff for all sorts. Cod liver oil is great in moderation, but Cod is also over fished at the moment so be sure you check the sources of the fish oil and it might be worth looking into other Omega 3 fish oils.

Following on from Steph, a vet colleague of mine (acupuncture vet who treats Rosie) told me to be careful when using cod liver oil and not to overdose as it can affect the liver. Rosie is a german sh pointer weighing 35kgs and she gets one tablet daily.

Yeah this is what I've heard too which is why i mentioned using it in moderation. also here is a link to a leave in conditioner with Aloe http://www.aloehealthuk.com/store/product_details.aspx?product=55030

It's used for many other things as well. Might prove very useful!

I use a vitamin e supplement from dorwest herbs (Henry has dry skin due to follicular dysplasia). It works wonderfully and i have not had to use anything else.

Labs do really well with fish oil in their diet for their coats. Fish 4 Dogs does quiet a few diets and supplements and I think NVS stocks it not sure about others. Might also be worth contacting Virbac for a shampoo or topical conditioner.

Isn't there something called mirracoat? Or is that a food supplement? Can't remember!
