Hiya.Kronch Salmon Oil (I get mine for my lab on Ebay) daily on her food or a capsule of Evening Primrose Oil will help.Or a tin of sardines in oil once a week (not brine as it's too salty) Also make sure she is on a good food that isn't full of colourings and preservatives..that may make her itch too. Good luck Kerriesmum

My westie has skin problems but seems to have improved since I gave him Fish4Dogs snacks. Not only do they seem to help his skin but he loves them as well.

My Mastiff also has dry skin so I gave him a tin of sardines in olive oil on Monday. Not sure if it's all in the mind but his skin seems better and coat feel softer already so I'll keep it up once a week.
