I have had my Bishon X dog approx 7 yrs . Hwas rehomed to us in very poor condition. His coat was very thin riddled with fleas. Major vet costs over the yrs to treat his itching and declined hair growth and many diet changes, plus steroids not to forget other expensive medications. AT LAST A VET NURSE in Rotorua vet clinic suggested Royal Canin SKIN support . WE are into his second bag of this food and little Jessie has Never been so well. Hair grown back and No itching at all. It has changed his life for the better.
