Thanks!
Did your vet recommend the suppliment? What kind of food are you feeding her? Does she get only the dog food, not any treats (particularly ones with red/green/yellow dyes in them?

At our hospital (I work as a vet assistant 5+ years) we've noticed the pets eating good premium foods (Science Diet, Eukanuba, Iams, Purina One etc) always have smoother coats, shed less and have a glossier appearence than dogs eating lesser brands of food (ie. store brands etc.). As a general rule our hosp. doesn't recommend suppliments (as a good food should provide all they need) unless there is a medical reason to give them.

If your dog has severly dry skin/hair and you are already feeding a premium food, it might be a good idea to have a check up done at the vet, as some health problems/allergies can show as dry or itchy skin/hair.
