Yes they can get pretty itchy just with shedding. I put a couple of tablespoons of salmon oil in their food twice a week. If a dog has fish allergies, (and I've actually heard of a couple that do), sunflower oil does almost as well.
I actually had salmon oil which I was giving to Jr and kept it in the fridge....but recently our fridge stopped working and a lot of stuff went bad
Including the fish oil I think...
Well I combed him yesterday...and he is SERIOUSLY blowing his coat. I wouldn't have noticed it so much if I were only using a slicker but I was also using a 2-sized toothed comb for double coated dogs and it took out bunches of fur. I would comb and comb and it didn't seem to stop coming out.lol. I thought I'd be able to wake up today without fur of the floor....but I was wrong
I think that if I want to get it all off of him I'm going to have to sit with him for a few hours
PS. Didn't note any fleas when I was combing the winter coat out so YAY!
