| Does Your Dog's Coat Look Bad |

| The Bare Essentials | April 3, 2008 |
Is your dog's coat looking a little lackluster? It may mean she's not getting enough essential fatty acids (EFAs) -- omega-3s and omega-6s -- in her diet. These are fats that her body can't make on its own, so she must get them from other sources, like food or supplements. Studies suggest that these EFAs may be "essential" to maintaining the health of your dog's skin and coat. If you're concerned that your pooch's appearance is suffering, omega supplements might help. But first, check with your vet to make sure larger health problems aren't to blame.
