salmon oil should help with coat condition.

I found Burns made Jess loose weight and condition, in addition to not agreeing with her tummy, but know many dogs on it who thrive.

My boy thrives on Burns dog food i rate it 100% u shouldnt have t add anything the only thing i would suggest to u is move him onto fish variety for a while and also start adding steamed haddock and cod t the meals and cod liver oil liquid form from the pet store.

Hi,

Why did you change the dogs food to burns was there a particular reason?

ORIJEN is a very high protein food that is meant to be very good for dogs as contains no grain, I would try this. It's more expensive but arent most good things.

Deez always has a teaspoon of animal cod liver oil to his main feed of the day.

Otto has a tin of either sardines (in olive or sunflower oil) or tuna (in spring water) a couple of times a week with his normal food, Arden Grange Large Breed Chicken & Rice and his coat is a lovely condition.

Was she on a high protein food before then?
If so what?
Mine are Fed Raw am and Orijen pm(which is a high protein kibble)
My dogs coats are tip top
Burns in my opinion has too much rice and dogs dont need rice they are just empty carbs
