His little brown spots are only visible when his clipped right down, no idea if this helps with our allergies at all but it does make him easier to clean!

Coconut oil .... Mixed in with food daily. Start with half a teaspoon to avoid any tummy upsets then gradually increase to a table spoon. Coat starts to bead off water within a week. Not to mention the countless Heath benefits.

Any oil will do or any complete kibble with a good oil content.
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.

My wife is a firm believer in giving each of my dogs half a slice of well baked toast liberally smeared with margarine every evening to promote good hair condition. I disagree with this coz it's done bugger all good for my hair !
