Re: [pyrnet] Supplements for dry skin?

We pulled our Ama off of dry dog food and started her on 'homemade' food. Her skin cleared up almost immediately and never came back. She had had several infections, allergy testing, etc etc and the skin was always irritated, until we made the food switch. Inka, our new Pyr, will never have dry dog food, just in case.

Are you sure that it is dry skin? We have had 2, and have heard of
others, who have stopped itching when they were given food without any
corn.. Just a thought.

Hello -

Does anyone use a omega-3 or fish oil supplements for dry itchy skin?
Any other kind of supplement?

Bacchus is one year old and is currently eating a large breed puppy
food with 26% crude protein, 14% crude fat, 2.4% omega-6 oils and 0.3%
omega-3 oils. He is scratching at his ruff on the neck and shoulders
and chews at his forelegs and knee-area (although not continuously and
not to the point of hair loss or skin damage). I intend to have him
brushed out later this week to get rid of loose undercoat - he won't
stand for me to do it and I have no helper to hold him or grooming
table. I can find no evidence of fleas and he has been on K-9
Advantix for the last two months since our flea problem earlier in the
fall.

Also, any suggestions where to buy these items in bulk or economical
sizes? The products at the chain pet stores are just ridiculously priced.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Laurie & Bacchus
