It depends on the cause. If Michelle is overweight and cannot properly groom himself then that could be why. You can take a damp rag and wipe him down and then comb him. If he is not overweight then you can try switching his food to a salmon flavor food. If you do this make sure it is done gradually. If you did not want to switch his food then I would try to get fish oil for him. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
