Keep your pal’s fur looking shiny

As winter starts winding down, you notice that your pet’s fur looks dull and rough. That’s probably because her winter coat is preparing to shed in anticipation of the warmer days ahead. To keep her fur healthy throughout this change, veterinarians recommend drizzling a bit of olive oil over her food every day (add 1 tsp. of oil per every 15 pounds of body weight for cats and dogs). How it helps: The pantry staple adds moisture to fur and prevents dry, itchy skin so fur looks smooth and shiny.
