German Shepherd Dog Forum:
Dry Skin

Does anyone know an effective cure for dry/flaking skin? We've tried a couple of different food additives (Dr. Maggie's was one), but he's reluctant to eat the food when we use it. Any idea what causes dry skin?

Hi My male GSD Sabre had dry flaking skin so I bought flax seed oil which you keep in the fridge and add it to the food I also bought vets all natural which is fruit and grains you soak it for twenty hours and then add it to the food my shepherds love it and no more dry skin I am not sure where you live but it is available here in Australia.
