supplements
Food supplements that contain omega fatty acids and vitamins such as “vitamin-c” are always a good idea to add to your pup’s diet. I give my dogs these multivitamins daily (Amazon Link), which is my vet’s recommendations, and you should probably check them out as they can indeed make a difference.
These supplements reduce inflammation of the skin leading to healthy longer hair. Also, they make skin healthier by replacing essential oils and keeping your dog from scratching, which may result in hair loss.
Avoid using any human food supplements as it may contain ingredients that harm your dog, look for supplements that are made for dogs in your local pet store.
Before you add any supplements to your dog’s food, it would be wise to check with your veterinarian first.
