pit bull itchy dry skin-need idea that actually work

[polarpooch]

OK, I got some fish oil caps and a bag of Eagle Pak Omega 3 food. A lady shopping at the petstore told me it helped her pittie's skin issues. THANKS for this idea. I hope it helps my pup.

I'm a pit owner, I've had many Pits but never this problem, it really isn't breed specific. It does sound like it is due to cold/dry weather. I would make sure he is getting enough omega fatty acids and supplement with grizzlys salmon oil to help with that. This will help his skin be healthy, not dry and flaky and take away the horrible itch. You can also set up some humidifiers for inside. We have very dry weather here also, it is bad on all of us so we started doing this and it helps us a lot so I imagine it makes the dogs feel better too.

Well, one thing's for sure--my dogs loooove that Eagle Pak food I got (the Holistic Omega 3 stuff), and they are craaaazy about the fish oil I'm putting in the food, too. I'm also giving this to my husky--since it seems like a win-win for all dogs. Haven't noticed anything so far (only been 4 feedings), although it sort of seems like my pittie's coat is a little softer. Might be my imagination and wishful thinking Crossing my fingers this will help control the problem. Thanks for the Omega 3 fish oil suggestion. Sort of surprised that my vet never mentioned this before.
