We had a rottweiler with
very dry skin and flaking.....
We even had to research for a quality food that contained the proper amount of
Linoleic Acid and
Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). The best pet food is
Natural Choice by
Nutro.
The quality/nutrional values of the food is so good she only needed 1.5 cups a day - and she was a 100+ lb. dog!
She has since passed away but she lived to be almost 14 years old - which is AMAZING for a rotty!
I have a sister that has a rotty & she can't find the dog food in her area so she uses
Coconut Oil - works great for her! Her dog hair went from normal/coarse to almost "puppy soft" again!

Another vet in the practice recommended some kind of oil put in his food, every day a tablespoon at a time. I forget what kind it is!! The last bottle went bad and was thrown out. A tablespoon at a time lasts a l o n g time. Any suggestions from the Board?
