Shiny Coats

What is everybody using to get their GS's to have nice shiny coats?

Nothing special- he eats TOTW, has a nice thick, long shiny coat. He gets an egg a few times a week and I brush him daily

I brush Layla daily too, although I've never tried the egg thing. What do you do with that...crack it raw over her food? Or just a raw egg alone?

My dogs all get TOTW and I give salmon oil on top of the dry. All coats are shiny and healthy.

Just gave her an egg. Now, I've also heard a lot about people giving them tinned sardines.
How many sardines do you give her and how often.

If I'm making eggs for my husband I'll cook one for Stosh, sometimes I'll put a raw egg in his meal.

I have never given eggs for coat. I would not myself be keen on raw eggs for dogs.

Raw Eggs For Shiny Dog Coat?

I have found a correct balance of omega fatty acids to most improve coat condition and shine.

I think it is the red mud baths. Maybe I should start a red neck dog spa.

Let dogs roll around in mud then for a bath in the muddy pond then brushe

combed by wait-a-minute vines. (We DO have shiny coats though)

Ok, so back to the tinned sardines...anyone using these? How many do you give them and how often?

Nothing. RAW diet with fish oil, vit c, vit e supplements. I noticed dandruff the other day so time to give her a bath with Emu oil shampoo. The dandruff is due to our extremely dry house from wood heat. Just brushing her brings out the shine.
