I was just brushing Wolfie, and I was getting little shocks from his coat. The brush was snapping with static. Are there any tricks or products out there to cut down on the static?

I'm interested too, but don't have any info to offer. Waiting for other replies...
(Funny story though- The other day I woke up a bit early and it was still very dark in my bedroom. Pimg jumped up on the bed and I was petting her. As I ran my hand along her side from back to front [against the nap of the hair] I could literally see hundreds of sparks from the static! It looked pretty cool, not sure how it felt for her though.)

I have a spray on conditioner that I got at the pet store, can't think of the brand right now, but it is an all natural product, and that works great. I use it on my friend's lab whenever she comes over, since she spends a lot of time on her back in the yard (apparently she likes being a bowling pin :crazy
and the dirt and grass had some serious static cling to her coat. A few sprays of that and it all just falls off with a quick rub with a towel. Plus it smells nice and makes their coats nice and soft :wub:

Where do you get salmon oil? What form is it in? Drops or pills? Wolfie has dry winter skin. I feed him flaxseed, and his coat is shiny, but his skin is dry right now.

If you have a Tractor Supply by you, you may want to try Cowboy Magic Super Bodyshine. Its a horse product, but I use it when I groom dogs of all varieties. It is AWESOME. It helps with static, repels dust/dirt. I can't live without it. And its alot cheaper than mink oil that in my opinion leaves the coat greasy and gummy.

flaxseed has ALA omega 3, which most dogs can't convert to EPA/DHA.
I would order the fish oil from vitacost.com and make sure to give vitamin e (400 IU) with it.

How about just rubbing your dog down with a dryer sheet?

Umm, this may not be safe, but I rubbed Stryder down with a dryer sheet last week, no shock and no static clean

X 2......Salmon oil won't get rid of static, it's dry air in the home. I would def go with the humidifier. And it's good for us humans as well.

^^^^ YES!!!
But, if you can't get that I think a light spray on conditioner would help.

I love the Cowboy Magic products for myself. When I was younger and wore my hair longer, the detangler worked great. I buy my salmon oil from K9 Power Products. It already has the vit E added. I also get the Show Stopper for winter dryness. And have the humidifier going. It all helps.
