and dry skin? I do feed a very high quality food called Neutro and is very expensive. I buy the one to help with skin and coat.
My aunt recommended it to me today. She said any kind of oil, veg oil, fish oil etc. What is the best oil to use if it is okay to add oils to your dogs food? Would you recommend veg oil or some other oil?

I give my dog a couple of beaten eggs and a bit of garlic every now and then and her coat is really glossy. I don't know about the oil as it may have a laxative effect?

Just dribble a little animal fat over her food....bacon drippings...hamburger drippings...that is the best oil.
