Afternoon all,

Our Greyhound Suzie, had a nice shiny coat a few weeks ago but it is now very flaky. Started at the top of her tail but is now right up to her collar as well and also some behind her ears. She is perfectly happy in every other way and is not distressed or off her food. Is this anything to do with her shedding a winter coat and if so how long will it last.

Thanks all in advance.

our lad done that when we got him and we found that he just wasnt settled into his routine and when he settled down it disapeared we only have him on dry food and hes been fine ever since, she could be a bit stressed out the now or it could be the heat afecting her

Bailey used to be bothered by a flaky coat and we've been giving him evening primrose oil capsules with his food, which you get in pet shops. We also brush him daily and use an aloe vera spray, which all appears to help and his coat is now flake free and very glossy!

Thanks all,

We give her a mixture of dry and wet food, mainly dry, and give her cod liver oil with her meal in the morning.

Will try brushing her more often and also the spray and see if that helps.

Thanks again

Hi Guys,
It's a time of year when dogs cast their winter coats. Maybe it could clear up on its own. We have this often with the kennel dogs.
