My Jack Russell Terriers Coat.

20 11:22:15

Question
I Have A Jack Russell Terrier called Jazz. Her Coat Never Seems To Shine. What Dog Shampoo Would You Recommend Me To Use On Her To Make Her Coat Shine? She Has No Allergies That I Know Of.

Answer
Ruth -

Shampoo is not likely to help with shine. In fact washing a dog often removes the oils from their coat that is what shines.

If she doesn't have any allergies (though I still recommend kibble with no corn in it), she may just need a little supplementation.  Some fish oil, flaxseed oil or even an egg once in a while can help.

There are also commercial supplements that do the same thing like Missing Link and others.

I'm sure that some tweaking of her diet will get her shiny in no time flat !
