I get mine at a local raw feeding pet store. Do you have any specialty pet stores in your area? They'd like have it also. No idea about whether or not a health food store would have it or not.

No speciality stores, just regular pet stores with the same commercial junk I'll ask around. My mum is big on forcing fish oil on my dad, I'll give her a call up and ask her ;D

As long as it's not cod liver oil. Too high in vit. A. I've actually used it for the few times I couldn't get a new one to eat liver just yet You can also frequently order it online as well.

Not much to note the last couple of feedings, Taco may be getting a little better at the slithers, Malibu and Napoleon are fine, Nougat is not super pleased but it trying, I can see.
Another thing about Nougat, the other 3 have beautiful coats, but Nougats feels dry and spiky and she's always had trouble with mild-moderate rats tail. Is there anything I can do extra to help her coat and get rid of the rats tail?

I've been told to wash it every 2-3 days with a black head removing facewash and have been. Is this correct?

I'd give her some sort of oil, like fish oil mixed with extra virgin olive oil. 1/2 tsp every second or third day. It will help with skin, coat, and itchies. Plus the olive oil helps prevent ulcers . The rat tail will go away with the winter coat whether treated or not, but you can certainly wash it to get rid of the blackheads earlier.

If you mean for his coat, the oil and the raw should do the trick
