Does your dog have a dry dull coat?

I'm no doctor and can only talk from experience. We have been giving a Vitamin E and a Omega 3 (Fish Oil) you know the gel capsules daily to Lucy and Wrigley in their food. Most of the time I just drop them in their kibble, but they really like crunching down on the fish one and getting that fishy oil taste right in their mouth. Wrigley is finicky and if its in his food, sometimes he'll play with it and not eat it till I bust it open for him. So, I'm learning to do it this way now and not fight him on it. The other one is so small I don't think they notice it.

Recently, they were both kinda sick, well, Lucy was very sick with diareaha and I stopped all hard food for 24hrs and then started her on cottage cheese and yogurt and then rice and hamburger. Cottage cheese works for her all the time when she's a little loose. The experts say pumpkin and I have a ton of that around but that didn't really do anything I didn't think. I gave her some and that is what she took her pills with but I don't think it did anything one way or the other. Anyway, I also stopped her vitamins and since she wasn't getting them, I didn't give them to Wrigley either.

The following week, Wrigley starting feeling ill. He wasn't eating, had bad gas, which is very abnormal for him, so we were still not giving vitamins. After another week after everyone was back to normal, I notice their coats not quite as shiney or soft. I started putting them back on it and what a major difference. Wrigley is so black he shines like black silk.

The only problem with this is they become so soft, I can't keep my hands off them if they are laying by me. And usually, they are trying to sleep so, I keep waking them. LOL But, I guess that's a good problem for them when so many out their don't get touched at all.
