Good advice

[Kathy Janes]

I appreciate the comments and suggestions on Mater's itching. We give him a special oil supplement with breakfast and salmon oil with dinner, so I don't think there is much more we can do with those additives. However, I've never tried the primrose oil so will get some and see how that works. He is bathed only every 10 weeks and they are aware of his itching so use appropriate shampoos and conditioners. Poor dog has torn out so much coat now in the winter, and it will all be back in time for a nice hot summer! He still has enough to want to be outside in the cold, so I guess it isn't really THAT bad. He just is so much less dense and wooly than usual. But I'm going to try the things suggested and see how we do! (We do have a very dusty house and I've often wondered about mites, but we did have all of the vents cleaned and it didn't seem to matter.)
