A few months ago my 15 month old dog Harley started getting a itchy coat and dry, dull looking hair and increased hair loss. I started giving him sardines in spring water daily (which he absolutely goes crazy for). They are very high in omega 3 acids and I must tell you he has the shiniest, healthiest coat I have ever seen! People always comment on how healthy he looks. I would highly recommend this to any dog owners out there with the same issues. It also has stopped the intense shedding he had. If you don`t want the added calories then get a good quality fish oil you would take yourself and break open the capsules and put some in his regular food...highly, highly recommend this!
