Hi Melysa, I've had a similar thing with Champ(ion the wonder dog). We have an ongoing regime of: Sardines in his food - not every day but the occasional add in and the fish oils seem to help Grooming helps to get rid of the scurf and stimulate new cells Daisy lab has terrible grass allergy and she has 10 mls of evening primrose oil a day to help her skin - it is brilliant stuff and has meant we have been able to reduce the steroids she has to combat the allergy. She is itchy but he is not but I tried it with Champster anyway and I think it makes a difference. As you know he has his scurfy moments when he gets a bit stressed but the above helps keep it in check. Mouse always looks fab anyway xx

Hi Graeme, we had similar with his brother Champ. He has a daily ration of evening primrose oil (one of our labs has it as she has an awful grass allergy so thought we would give it a try), lots of grooming and sardines. He has gone from a tufty to a lovely sleek black greyhound. He still gets occasional scurfy moments but it tends to happen when he is a little bit stressy so we just let him have a few treats, lots of cuddles and strokes to help him relax. I could never have imagined that he would be so handsome. You'll see a big difference over the next few weeks as he gets used to his new home and finds his place and chills. I used to get a bit embarrassed taking Champ to kennels etc as he looked so scruffy compared to the other visitors - I was always worried about his coat and apologising but it is honestly just a question of time until the (black) swan appears :).

Hi Lisa, so pleased to hear Isla feels so at home with you again. She was very excited to see you this afternoon! She has been very reluctant to go on walks since she came back to the kennels...It was great to see her trot happily down the drive with you all. Xxx

Hi Melysa..... the Yumega is the standard product for skin and coats and the Yumega Plus is for dogs with itchy skin. As you don't say whether he's itchy or not I thought I'd mention the two types. Have a look on the Lintbells website which I think is very informative its www.lintbells.com . Go to Products and you can read and compare both types and see which if any you think is best for Charlie Mouse. Linda x

Hi Melysa Yumega or Yumega Plus is worth a try. See my post on Bobby's page earlier this afternoon. Linda.

Hi Melysa - try Yumega Plus it's supplied by Lintbells I get mine from my vets but I think you can get it from places like Pet & Home or probably online - Jed is 28Kg and has 10ml per day in his food. Also putting pilchards into his feed will help but make sure it's the ones in tomato sauce and not brine. A good dog shampoo is always worth a try as well - I did Jed today and he isn't impressed with me at the moment, I think it's because he's gone very fluffy and his street cred is in tatters!!!

Hi Graeme we use Yumega oil for our girls' skin and coats. It's widely available in places like Pets at Home or on the internet and I do believe Ruth sells it at the kennels. It's good for skin and coats and is balanced for Omega 3 & 6. It's only a teaspoon am & pm in their meals. You can read more at https://www.lintbells.com/products/yumega-dog Our girls are both black and have lovely shiny coats. In the summer we use the Yumega Plus formula as Lola seems to get seasonal itchyness and starting it early this year seems to have really done the trick. I'm sure Trevor's coat will improve over time in any case, but this would give it a boost. Very best of luck with your boy - I love his ears in those photos :-). Linda.
