Thanks. I will get some fishoil and add that to his diet. His coat is very shiny, even with the flakes. I have used the alo/oatmeal shampoo and it seems to have helped. He does not have such a strong 'doggy'smell now. I wash him once a fortnight and so far so good. I am working on some pics of the 'kids'. I have since adopted another rescue dog, and her name is Jazzy. She is a mixed breed and Ty absolutley adores her. They have become best friends very quickly. Zoe, on the other hand is only just beginning to get used to her. Jazzy is still finding her 'place' in the house, but other than that she is a delight to have. ;) I love the support I have found here. Thankyou to all for you help! I shall post some pics shortly :D castell

No! I am not suggesting for you to eat dog food I don't know where that came into it? The rescue dog is called Ty? And your Chi is called Zoe? You say Zoe is not eating dog meat. What are you feeding Zoe? And Ty is getting the Bonny and the canned food? The meat and bones are very good for both of them. Maybe the rescue dog, Ty, is not doing well with the Bonny dry food and canned food. This could be giving him an allergy. Can you answer these questions and then we can help you more :D sorry 'bout that. I was quoting Zoe. as in the look on her face when I offer her dog food "Me, eat dog food'" Zoe (the Chi) eats cooked/raw mince, chicken and her favourite, cooked pork ribs. We also give her rice and pasta occasionally. ;) Ty (rescue dog) gets the bonny and a little canned food, plus the fresh bones and chicken frames occasionally. He seems to have improved since using the alo/oatmeal shampoo. We only bath him once a fortnight, and make sure we rince him properly. ;) Thank you for you reply. It is nice to have the company of other 'doggie'people

;) I have heard this is good for them, too. I was advised to give him fish oil and not sardines, as the fish tend to be saulty. I am going to try the fish oil and see what happens. His coat is in rather good nic, even with the flakes. It is very shiney. Thanks for you suggestions. ;)

Thank you for your suggestions. I shall try the oatmeal shampoo and see how things go. I feed Ty dry food called Bonny, with a little can food for gravy, fresh meat, chicken frames and, of course, bones. Zoe, the chichuahua, does not eat dog meat.'Me, eat dog meat? But i'm not a dog!! I am enjoying being part of this group.Hope to meet you in the chat room or in discussion groups Thanks to all cheers castell

Hello to all. I am castell and am the proud owner of a rescue dog. He jis a desexed male staffy. He appears to have dandruff mostly on his back. He gets itchy at times. He tends to smell very 'doggie'about a week after a bath. Otherwise he is healthy. He has been bathed in Dr. Harry's hypo-alleergenic shampoo for sensitive skin. I have a chichahua and she has no problems. Any advice would be appreciated
