The best solution for a variety of dog shedding and skin problems is a daily dose of Brewer's yeast!!! I have an Eskimo Spitz and it has improved his hair loss and coat tremendously. It takes a few doses to get in but it is worth it. Can get the tablets at Pet Stores, Nutritional Stores, and Walmart. Only a few dollars a bottle. Make sure dog is not allergic to yeast. It is great for flea reduction as well.
