Question
QUESTION: i have two min pins,and the have dry skin on the back legs.
What can i use?

ANSWER: Hi Ann - OH... I love little min pins!
Ok, you could add 1/4 of a teaspoon of Salmon oil to the dog's food every other day.  That should help to soften the coat and skin.
Also, a TEA tree oil shampoo bath can help too..
NuVET Plus makes a great oatmeal shampoo and TEA tree oil shampoo for very dry skin and coat.

YOU should try NuVET Plus Vitamin Wafers: - they would need 1/2 tablet/wafter per day. It would cost you about .25 cents per day per dog.  NOt sold in stores... Only by Groomers and VET offices.

Let me know if you can't find the salmon oil... You need pure salmon oil like this one:  I believe you can find this Alaska brand in Pet Stores... all over the usa

QUESTION: thank u for all your help. Can  suggest a good puppy for for my mini pin?

Answer
A good pup food is Innova ( small bites) or WEllness Formula ( WEE bites)... Is this what you were asking for?

You can also buy canned food of Innova or Wellness - place a teaspoon on top of the dry food in the am.  

For a special taste treat...
Don't forget to buy the Supplements/ vitamins... OK


Good Luck to all!
