Incredible Product
Date: November 21, 2009
"I've used this Nutricoat 8 in 1 oil for about 3 years for my 6 rat terriers. Shedding is reduced incredibly and the shine in their coats is unbelieveable.
As a professional trainer, I recommend this product to my clients.
Don't ever stop making or carrying this product! It is one of the best supplements I've ever used."

AMAZING Stuff !!!
Date: November 11, 2009
"I rarely write reviews but this one I had to write. I choose this product because it had the most and the highest ratings. I had made an appointment w/ our Vet for Zoey our Shih Tzu because she was itching and scratching so hard she would wake us up several times during the night and wimpering from the pain. I bought the Excel Intense Shield added it to her food and because she's does'nt eat all her food at once I gave her an additional dose which she licked from the spoon. And I gave her extra the next three evenings. The first night she seemed better but still scratching. The second night and thereafter she has slept all night w/ NO SCRATCHING!!!
It was on sale for $21 and saved us a $200 Vet bill!"

Good for Skin
Date: October 12, 2009
"This oil seems to be working, but I haven't been entirely consistent with putting it on both of my dogs' food either. That's why I give it four stars. I feel like both of my dogs have softer coats and the one with only mild allergies hasn't been suffering from bumps on her skin since I've added it to her food. Both dogs eat it with no problem and the oil doesn't have an offensive odor. I'd say it's worth a try."

Not as good as I thought
Date: March 31, 2009
"I thought this product would alleviate the dry skin my lab is dealing with. It helped to an extent but did not remove the problem. She is fed Eukanuba large breed puppy food and I'm using Avoderm shampoo for dry skin which is also a waste of money. I'll keep trying products until I find something to help her."

It works
Date: August 11, 2008
"I had been without my Nutricoat for a couple of months and boy could I tell the difference in the shedding. I have a black Chow Chow, Ebony, and a blondish brown Chow- Shepard mix Dreyfus. There were hunks of hair everywhere. In the past when they were getting the Nutricoat on a regular basis there was MUCH less shedding. I will be glad when it gets back into their system."

Works Great
Date: March 19, 2008
"Used this product becasue my Rhodesian Ridgeback had dry cheeks and elbows and she kept scratching at them. Two days after I started giving this to her, I could see a difference. Two weeks later and her dry elbows and cheeks are gone and her coat is nice and shinny. Would recommend to anyone who wants to make their dogs coat look and feel shiny and soft. This product is a must have!!!"

Works great!
Date: January 28, 2008
"I've been giving my Toy Fox Terrier this since she was a puppy and her hair is soooo soft and shiny. I just rescued a 3 year old Rat Terrier which has the same type of coat, but she's not nearly as soft or shiny. Now that I have her, she is on good food and is getting the 8 in 1 Nutricoat and I'm fully confident she'll be soft and shiny in no time. This is a great product!"

Why Don't The Vets Tell U About This?
Date: May 29, 2007
"I am completely amazed by how well this product has worked for my Weimaraner! He had approx 10 spots of flakey, scaley skin along his trunk, and his hair was thinning quickly in those areas. His overall coat was dry, and wirey, and he had incredibly dry skin. Our regular vet suggested flax seed oil supplements and referred us to a skin specialist. The flax seed didn't make much difference, so it was off to the specialist. $155 later, we were sent home with antibiotics and an impending biopsy if the meds failed ($360 more). After the antibiotics failed to bring improvement, we decided to give a skin supplement a try, just in the off chance it may work. We had always thought feeding him high quality dog food would give him all the nutrients he needed, but we were very very wrong.
I KID YOU NOT, WE HAD SIGNIFICANT RESULTS WITHIN 48 HOURS! I wasn't even looking for improvement. I thought at least a week or 2 would be needed. But 2 days later, I ran my hand from his head down his back, and the wirey texture had started to soften. Its been 6 days now. His coat is soft again, and no more dandruff. His skin spots are improving as well. The scales and flakes are gone, and he is regrowing hair that had fallen out.

This really is a miracle in a bottle, and quite a bargain if you ask me, especially when you consider the alternatives. Now why in the world don't our vets know about this????"

This stuff works!
Date: April 14, 2007
"My white boxer was dry and itchy all the time until we started using this stuff. I give it to my Dane/Mastiff mix too. People compliment us on their shiny coats whenever we walk them. Their fur is softer and best of all, no more chewing and scratching all the time! My boxer is kind of a picky eater too and he's liked it mixed in his food from the day we got it. Very good buy & the bottle lasts a long time."

Great product!
Date: March 16, 2007
"My wife and I have had a 3 year old German Shephard for a little over a month. He was very itchy and had some dry spots on his skin. After reading the reviews, I figured I would check out this product. Since using it, his itching has stopped, his skin and coat are gorgeous and we have had a lot of great comments on how healthy he looks. Of course, a product is only good if your dog will take it. Our dog LOVES the taste of it. We actually just ran out and it almost seemed as if he knew his food was missing that something extra. I'd recommend this product 100%!"

skin and coat looks great with nutricoat
Date: December 10, 2006
"My 140 lb lab/wolfhound always seemed to have a more wirey coat. I noticed that he was scractching a lot and when I looked closely at his tail, the skin was blotchy and scaling off. After a few weeks on this, his coat is so much softer, he's not itchy, and the scaly stuff is almost gone. We ran out a couple days ago and he just looks at his food, waiting for me to pour on the oil!"

awesome stuff!
Date: September 24, 2006
"My 12 yr old terrier was starting to get all these skin problems. She was getting rashes, welts, sores, fur falling out and her coat was extremely dull. I can't afford to bring her to a vet so I'm trying anything I can find at Petco. This stuff actually works and is awesome. She's been using it everyday for 2 mths now. Her skin has gotten back to normal with no red blotches, no more rashes, and no more dull coat!! Her fur has grown back and this stuff is a lil expensive for oil, but it's worth it."

8 in 1 NutriCoat Skin & Coat Food Supplement
Date: August 12, 2006
"Chewie, my 7 yro toy manchester terrier mix has been demanding this product for years now. He refuses to eat his dry food without "his oil" on it. He will beg until we remember to add it to his dry food.
As a result he has the shiniest coat anyone has ever seen. Several people have commented on how good he looks.
He has the healthiest looking skin & coat. He does not scratch or dig. He loves the carob flavor too.
I would highly recommend this product for any dog."

Reduces Shedding

"This product is excellent at reducing the amount of hair my Golden Retriever sheds. You have to use it continuously for about 7-10 days to see the results. Not only does it reduce shedding, his coat is shiny and smooth."

"I recently adopted a 7 year old Shih Tzu that was rescued from a puppy mill. Her coat was short, dry and not very nice and she scratched constantly. I found NutriCoat and started adding it to her food. You should see her now, she doesn't scratch, her coat is long, and shiny and feels like silk. She is absolutely beautiful Thank you NutriCoat. "
