I do not have a labradoodle; I am a wannabee. But I do have a clumber spaniel and she gets 2 supplements which I believe have made her coat very soft, shiny and she sheds less (except during shedding season which is right now and impossible!!!LOL).
Anyway, here are the supplements:
Super 14 This is actually a horse supplement which is also used for dogs and cats. I was able to find it at the equine section of Petsmart. Start slowly (otherwise it can give the runs) and you probably won't need to give as much as what the label says. I started with 1/4 teaspoon 1 time daily and added 1/4 tsp each day until Scout, my clumber, now has 1 tablespoon per day. I may increase it a bit now, as she is a puppy and has grown quite a bit since she started on this about 3 months ago. It cut down on daily shedding tremendously as clumbers shed year round, but not on seasonal shedding.
Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil I give Scout 1 capsule daily (1000mg), though at maturity she will probably get 2 per day, and it alleviated all of her scratching and itching which seemed to be allergy related. This is a people supplement found at the health food store (Whole Foods).
Both supplements have made her coat softer and shinier and she loves getting her salmon oil capsule in a dollop of cream cheese, and loves the taste of the super 14 powder mixed into her food.
Just my 2 cents,
Adrienne and Scout

Hi All,
I ask asking for some advice. (Carla's puppies are
adorable). However, my 8th month old black female
looks like she has a dirty head all the time her hair
is flat an listless only on her head. Her body is
beautiful and black wavy shiny. Anyone else have this
type of problem. I brush and comb her almost every
day and she looks better, but within an hour her head
is all flat and dull again. Also she just starting
shedding, ugh.
June
