Rough fur solution

All of a sudden our older Weimaraner Zak who's 10 has a strip of rough fur down his back and it isn't because he's malting i wondered if there was anything we could do/feed him to restore it to it's silky smoothness.

Well feeding oils such as Fish Body Oil + Vitamin E may help.

Be careful with Cod Liver Oil, it has fat soluble vitamins A and D in it and if you are feeding a complete food that contains these you this can prove toxic.

Fish Body Oils are better.

Is he neutered?

That can make the fur woollier, rather than silky and glossy.
