Hello again Dog Forums! I've got another question regarding Liddy.
She's about a year old now and as fun-loving as can be. In the last month we've noticed a change in her coat. It started to get dull, she was shedding A LOT and dandruff started to show up a lot more than usual. Right about the same time as this change she started to not like her food. I feel there is a connection.
Background info: She's a 45lbs Shar Pei mix with a ROUGH coat and the hairs are no more than 1/2 inch long. We bathe her every 3-4 weeks with Earthbath Oatmeal and Aloe. We have never used a conditioner after these baths, however I took her to the groomers 2 weeks ago for an exfoliating scrub and conditioner.
We are currently transitioning from Canidae into a grain-free Wellness. I purchased a brush for "short coat" today, but she hates it! Plus lots and lots and lots of dandruff appeared.
From reading other forum posts it seems integral to brush her daily to stimulate the glands, plus add oil to the diet. I am seeking advice about an oily supplement. It seems we have 3 options: Flax Seed Oil, Fish Oil and Olive Oil.
Thoughts? Liddy thanks you!
