Itchy Dry Skin

    This came to me from a friend. Thought I would post it.


    Fall is here and winter is just around the corner! Seasonal changes can create dry skin for dogs. A good coat starts from the inside with proper nutrition. Below is an oil base recipe from The Whole Pet Diet by Andi Brown that may help.

    • 5 ounces e. v. olive oil
    • 1 ounce cod liver oil
    • 1 ounce wheat germ oil
    • 1 ounce flax seed oil
    • 1 clove garlic, chopped or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2-inch sprig of rosemary, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
    Combine ingredients in a blender and pulse for approximately 30 seconds. Store in a dark glass bottle in the refrigerator. If stored as directed, the blend should last approximately 2 months.
    At feeding time pour the appropriate amount of the oil blend for your dog's weight on top of their food. Mix thoroughly. They will love the taste!
    Dogs weight Amount of oil blend

    • 2 - 11 lbs - 1/2 teaspoon
    • 12 - 25 lbs - 1 teaspoon
    • 26 - 50 lbs - 2 teaspoons
    • 51 - 100 lbs - 1 tablespoon
    • 100+ - 1 1/2 tablespoons
    This mixture of oils will help the skin repair itself as well as moisturize. The oils provide Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. Garlic lends protein, Vitamin A, B1 and C as well as essential minerals. Rosemary is beneficial to the heart, liver, eyes and optimizes the quality of the coat.
    Please consult your veterinarian before supplementing your dogs food or making dietary changes.
    Hope your dogs enjoy this mixture and have healthy luxurious coats all season long!
