If you feed your dog the best food available, then most likely you won't need to give him any nutritional supplements to produce a healthy, shiny coat. However, this sort of diet can be time-consuming to prepare, not to mention expensive.
If your dog's coat isn't looking as good as it perhaps should, then his diet may be lacking in one or more essential nutrients. Thankfully, there's an excellent range of supplements to help top up your dog's nutrition, resulting in better all-round health and a coat to match:
Food Vitamins
1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
These typically come from oily fish and seeds. Getting sufficient omega-3 has been shown to produce a healthy-looking coat. But don't overdo them - these fats should not make up more than about 5% of your dog's intake of fat.
2. Omega-6 Fatty Acids
Similar to omega-3, these are found in meat and vegetable fats. Again, they can enhance the shine of your dog's coat, but be careful not to overdo them. An easy way to add this to your dog's diet is to give him a tablespoon of vegetable oil every day.
3. Egg
A daily portion of egg will help boost the health of your dog's fur. Some people recommend feeding him raw egg, but this carries a slight risk of salmonella, so it's preferable to use cooked egg, as long as your dog doesn't have an allergy to it.
4. Linatone, Missing Link, Mirra-coat etc
These supplements offer an excellent blend of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Many dog owners swear by them, and report that they produce a really healthy looking coat, and a happier, healthier dog.
Whichever way you choose to add them to your dog's diet, supplements can help to provide any nutrients and vitamins that would otherwise be missing. This provides a welcome boost to your dog's health, creating a visible difference to his coat.
