Dull coat

Post by Farmerwells »

I have a question my dogs coats are lacking shine and luster and I was wondering if there was something I could add to the feed to help that. When we showed cattle we would add bean oil to their feed. I thought I could spritz it over the dog food with a spray bottle. Tractor Supply (our local farm store) has rice bran oil (Equine Supplement; Rice Bran Oil Type; With Crude Fat (Min) 100%, Total Fatty Acids (Min) 90%, Unsaponifiable Matter (Max) 4.5%, Insoluble impurities (Max) 1%, Free Fatty Acids (Max) 0.05%, Moisture (Max) 0.05%; 2 - 8 fl oz (Daily) Dosage Limit) I thought about using it but wanted some advice first

Thanks

A little bacon grease over their food makes a big difference.

yup bacon grease Will do the trick..So will a raw Egg now and again...
We use Fish Oil you can get it at most grocery stores in capsule form, has all the Omega 3 and Omega 6 nutrients that they need and keeps the Skin healthy..a healthy Skin leads to shiny Coat!!!
We use one capsule a day in their feed just break it or Smash it and they will gobble it up. we just drop it in their bowl....
From Field to Show and Show to Field the way it should be
