“Kevin, stop it”, “Put your T-shirt on, Kevin”. These have been the conversations in our house for the past months since my allergy got worse in the warm weather. You might remember that Mum decided to try out a new supplement of omega fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin in dogs. I have now been taking one spoonful of the supplement with my meals for just over two weeks. This weekend Mum realised that I haven’t been itching – and I have not had to wear that stupid t-shirt during the day. Early days still, but we are hopeful that the supplement is beneficial for atopy in dogs.
