Our dog Chili Palmer started to shed real bad and had dandruff also. All she wanted to do was sleep and eat dinner. When we let her out of her pen she would slowly walk over to a shaded area and go to sleep.
We took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with a low thyroid condition. She is now on meds and is a totally different dog. She runs, howls, chases rabbits in the yard and has quite the doggie vocabulary.
Also we changed their dog food to a lower fat content feed. So far Chili has lost 25 lbs. in 3 months. And her hair and skin have dramatically improved.
We supplement their diet with knuckle bones and marrow bones. Our vet says their teeth are in excellent shape little or no tartar build up.
