And what is the dandruff like?
Also, how much does he weigh and how much is two pumps? (Remember that even in one brand, like Grizzly, different size bottles have different size pumps, so "pump" doesn't give us a measurement. )

Yikes, I'm glad you mentioned the pump size! I just got a new, bigger, bottle of Grizzly and I don't think it would have occurred to me to check the amount...
Also, clarify for me as well, yogurt everyday? about 10% of the diet for the day?

His dandruff just like tiny white dust. I am using the Grizzly brand 32oz salmon oil, and 2 pumps salmon oil is .02 oz or 7gram, as for Junior's weight I have no idea but must be between 30-35 lbs.

Hi Walter,
Your dosage sounds just fine with the salmon oil. Have you tried regularly brushing the pup? There was a time when my female was flaky too, but regular brushing should really help that too.
How's the raw feeding going? Have you started yet to integrate any organ meats yet?
Also, have you bathed the pup yet? Sometimes if you don't get all the soap out or conditioner out, it can leave behind a residue that might also be the culprit.
Rinse again and again and again when giving the pup a bath.
One other thing that can be really helpful and makes the coat shine, is try putting a cup of Bragg brand apple cider vinegar in a gallon of the final rinse water. It helps clean out any residue and also helps the skin too.
It is a tad vinagry smelling but not so bad.
It really makes the coat shine though.

I brushed him twice a week and he quite enjoy it. The funny thing is the dandruff is not always show though and I wonder why??
Last week I started adding beef liver into his meal and his stool form up nicely, and yesterday I also started to add beef heart into his meal also form up nicely. Anyway, here is what ingredients I feed him and how much I gave and I hope you guys can correct me if I did it wrong..
5am = 10oz chicken back, 3oz 78% ground beef, 2 stroke salmon oil and E 200IU
12pm = 6oz chicken back, 7oz 78% ground beef
6pm = 10oz chicken back, 2oz beef liver, 1oz beef heart and 2oz plain yogurt
So please let me what you think, am I doing alright? Junior's is weight between 30-35 lbs and I using 7% of his body weight.
How often we should give a puppy or adult a bath? And I remember Ed has mentioned maybe twice a year correct me if I wrong.

I noticed that from yesterday afternoon Junior seem like quite, then I noticed one of his tooth is missing and last night when he go out potty break his stool looked a bit soft side but not pudding. Then this afternoon when my wife took him for potty break first couple drops was solid then last was running! Is it normal when during teething? Tonight dinner I add a teaspoon of pumpkin into his meal hope that will help, any input from all of you will help me a lot...

By "running," you mean brown water or more like pudding?
And mainly log? Or mainly liquid?
