Shampoo and Conditioner (Canada)

[slivinskaya]

I groom my two dogs on my own and need conditioner and shampoo recommendations.

Dog 1: Black shorthair golden X (Coat and size of a lab)
Dog 2: White Great Pyr X (Short hair, double coat)

Both handle grooming well. They're brushed nearly every day, but the Golden X has awful dry skin. He's fed a high-quality diet, gets salmon oil supplements, and plenty of fish. But it's just not enough--his coat is shiny but his skin is dry. I'm looking for a good conditioner for both dogs, and possibly a leave-in if it would help.

Any tips or ideas to help with his dry skin?

He's fed a high-quality diet

What diet exactly?

If you're feeding a balanced diet and adding a bunch of fish oil and supplements etc, you might have unbalanced the diet.

@imagebeastmarkbeast As per my vet's recommendations, they both eat Acana large breed puppy with the occasional sardine mixed in, and 3 pumps of a salmon oil. The vet suggested these for us but it's just not enough.

@slivinskaya Acana isn't a great food and yes you're unbalancing the diet with all that supplementation.

@imagebeastmarkbeast Even though it was recommended by my veterinarian to add it to his diet, it’s bad? Anyways aside that… all I asked about was conditioner for my dog.
