I give mine Cod Liver Oil and Wheatgerm Oil - but have heard Evening Primrose Oil is very good for coat conditions. :thumbsup:

Hers a link to Dorwest Herbs and a quote on coat condition.

Hi Paul,what do you feed your dog on?

Excessive moulting is often dietary related,& by changing over to a natural diet usually stops this problem! :thumbsup:

He is now on gluton free, with lowered protien but he still moults like anything ,it just seems unusual for a whippet to moult so much , my other whippet as hardley ever moulted at all , winter or summer

Tia's still the same with moulting, brought a great rubber glove brush for a £1, loads of hair comes off,

Hi Paul

Give him a good brush down with a hacksaw blade (yes I did say hacksaw blade ?

This will remove all the loose hair from the coat, it does not hurt the dog infact ours queue up for another go!!
