Helping a Dog with Dry Skin

My dog used to have really dry skin and clog up the bathtub every time he got a bath because of the shedding. I switched him to a food with 3.5% Linoleic acid – a fancy word for omega 6 – that is proven to guarantee improved skin & coat. It takes about 8 weeks to get all of the old food out and the new food into your dog’s system, so the Vet recommended adding a tablespoon of Sunflower or Safflower Oil to his meals while I was switching his food and/or during really bad shedding seasons.
