Coat issues
1- I understand its not recommended to give frequent bath to labb, We
are in Pakistan / Karachi weather is hummed & dusty, within a week my lab stinks therefore I have no other choice then giving him a complete bath with him perfumed shampoo. I will appreciate if any of you can suggest any workaround to this, anything else through which I can make my lab not to stink. 2- In such weather coat is also a problem, specifically dandruff and shedding, I have read that fish oil capsules are good for such condition, can you please suggest is it safe to give daily 1 fish oil capsule to my 12 weeks old lab if not then what should be the quantity. |

Don't know why this would be true. Friends with labs cannot keep them out of their swimming pool. They swim even in winter. Only downside is they seem to have a lot of stomach cancer problems with their dogs (life expectancy 7 yrs.) and wouldn't surprise me if they are drinking the chlorinated pool water which may be a precursor (chlorine is a carcinogen??). I give my beagle one fish oil capsule every other day. Does wonders for his coat and seems to keep smells and flaky skin under control. B~ |

Your Lab may be shedding his puppy coat. Also, this breed sheds a lot
of hair all of the time. This is normal. Comb or brush it out every day or two. Sometimes, just wiping the dog off with a wet cloth will reduce the need to bathe as often, or just rinse it off with running water. A fish oil capsule will help reduce the flaking skin most of the time. Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |

suggest any workaround to this, anything else through which I can make my lab not to stink. Labs have oily stinky coats. Nothing you can do about it. You couldn't pay me to keep one in my house!! :-) V Rondo Farms, Home of Rambo the Wonder Horse |
