Dry skin

Our Labrador is quite old and seems to be getting quite dry skin/doggie dandruff. Is there a natural supplement that could help her with this?

I noticed this recently with my 12 and a half year old lab. I gave him a good brush (he was blowing his coat) and a bath with some oatmeal dog shampoo. Also fed him some oily fish. Its cleared now

@labtest57 which oatmeal shampoo do you use? Ours says it’s oatmeal but definitely has a chemically smell and wonder if her skin is more sensitive with age. Good idea on the oily fish! I was debating giving her some of my collagen supplements, but oily fish sounds much more sensible 😂

Salmon oil is a good shout but if it doesn't work have a look at
BiotinMax from Ace Canine website
and/or
