shoemonster Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 no you made heaps of sense I have given them chicken frames before, they love them I'm lucky though as they love EVERY food! Including the offal! You have given me some great ideas, I feel much less confused I have tried to read some books and sites before and just end up more confused Bel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeysue Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I find that when i have Ice on Advantix flea treatment we have dandraff. So to compensate that i give 1 teaspoon of Cod Liver Oil each night in food. It works.Plus a tin of sardines each week. Check your flea treatment first tho. Good Luck .

WreckitWhippet Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Treat the inside as suggested .. And rather than bath your dog with shampoo and conditioners ( all shampoos are drying and strip the skin and coat of the much needed oils, regardless of what the bottles say ) rinse the dog in a big bucket of warm water ( just warm ) combined with a tablespoon of liquid glycerine and 1/2 a teaspoon of quality eucalyptus oil. They will smell good , the coats will shine and the scrurf will go. It's what I use on the black brindle Stafford , if I am showing him two weeks in a row and want to keep the natural shine on the coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayda_asher Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 That's the other thing I was going to suggest! Keri oil is really good for their skin too... I rub it straight into the patches, but you can put it in their bath water too... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Great thanks guys, I would much prefer natural things so these suggestions are great They only get bathed once every 6 months or so, but it's the swimming that I think strips it (the chlorine probably, I don't know what type of chemicals they use - it's at dogs in motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayda_asher Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 If you rinse them when they've been swimming you could rub the Keri oil through their coats then... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) I might do that What exactly is keri oil and where is it from Off to google ETA mineral oil and lanolin oil!!! I will have a look at the chemist then Edited June 6, 2006 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Oh I gave them their meat/veg still partially frozen this morning, it was great - it took them 30 seconds to eat it instead of 2 seconds (well maybe an exaggeration but they didn't inhale it for once!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayda_asher Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) ETA mineral oil and lanolin oil!!! I will have a look at the chemist then Yep! The original is great for dogs / people with problems as it has nothing else in it! Really good... If you put it on your hands it leaves a coat for a little while and then sinks right in! Doesn't leave you gunky at all... Good stuff! ETA: Forgot to say most good chemists will sell Keri oil Oh I gave them their meat/veg still partially frozen this morning, it was great - it took them 30 seconds to eat it instead of 2 seconds (well maybe an exaggeration but they didn't inhale it for once!!! ) Good stuff!!!
