Yeah, I'm assuming that's what's doing the trick. I originally planned to just feed him a whole fish once or twice a week, but it's surprisingly hard to find fish that's not gutted....
So I give him fish oil... well I'm not sure how often. Probably once every 2-3 days. I've seen people mention giving that much, so I think it's about right. He looks good, at least, so I see no reason at the moment to increase or decrease the amount.
If you have an opinion one way or the other I'd be interested!
I'm hoping to find a fish market or something in San Francisco. You'd think SF would have a ton of fish markets... but the best I can find is fish bodies without head or tail, from fish stores... Even safeway had more fish, but it was trout and salmon from northwest pacific.. which are poisonous. So no go there.

Funny, I felt the same until I adopted Ollie. Now I tell the difference between a wolf and a Husky instantly. I'm so used to the difference now, that I sometimes get people asking me if he's a wolf, and I look at them like they just told me the sky is green.
Then I realize most peoplecan't tell the difference. Though, it is MUCH harder for me to tell the difference when his nose is down and his eyes are upwards like in this picture:
But that's not the best pic of it. It can look pretty unnerving to the everyday person, though.
While I'm here, here's some pics of the "Before".
To give you a frame of reference... the dull brown is his undercoat, and anything black is his topcoat. That's how bad his coat was. And the topcoat is about half the length it is now.
I really don't understand what could have happened to create such extensive damage. He doesn't appear to have been abused, is well socialized and a happy dog. So I don't have an idea. My best idea is that maybe he got shaved? But I haven't heard anything of the sort.
