How to keep my dog's fur shiny and prevent oiliness and shedding?

Question

We gave our 3 year old female GSD pills for her fur and her fur became nice and shiny but now it's going back to oily and sheds a lot more than normal, why won't her fur just stay shiny and clean. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | 3 years and 4 months old

I would advise trying a supplement long term and also a healthy coat dog food. The supplement I recommend is fish oil tablets formulated for dogs. These can be purchased form your vet, in pet stores or online. This may some counterintuitive, but less frequency bathing is also recommended. Natural oils produced by dogs are washed away with baths.
