Vitamin E and Fish Oil supplements can help improve coat health and are readily available from most pet stores, just make sure to OK their use with your vet prior to starting if Tylla is on any other supplements or medications. Regular brushing and wiping down of the coat with an aloe or soothing pet wipe can also help reduce irritation and keep the skin and coat healthy. If you are noticing any patches of hair loss, redness, or irritation/itching, a vet visit to rule out any issues such as allergies or parasites may also be helpful.
