I have a american bulldog he is almost two years old. We switched foods from bill jax to nutro holistic super food this helped his itching but not his hair loss and dry skin. Any idea what I could do to stop his hair loss?  

Answer

Hi John - Well, I have some supplements and oils you can try.  You may want your local vet to do a skin scrape.  They can look at the cells under a microscope.

Here are some things you can try:

1.  Pure Salmon oil - add 2 teaspoons to his food daily.

2.  Add some vitamin C - ESTER C - (1) of a 500 mg per day  for about 60 days.

3.  NuVET Plus - this is a skin/coat supplement and help to heal - PLUS - it helps to fight off allergies, too.
NOT in stores: go here:  http://www.nuvet.com/81098
You will need 1 1/2 NuVET wafers per day - long term....
The do give a 60 day money back guarantee..
1-800-474-7044  ( use order code 81098 for the 15% Off on auto-ships)


*the food you are using is fine.  Just add the above supplements and see ..... should start to help in less than a few weeks.


For baths, you may want to try some Oatmeal doggie shampoo only 2 x per month.
Rub the shampoo into the area lightly and then rinse after 5 minutes.


Good luck
Happy New Year
