How much EPO should I give for dry skin/skin complaint. I would normally give 1000mg per day normally but would like to know how much I should increase this to.

I've given 2000-3000mg in the past but sometimes this much can give a dog the runs so maybe try 2000mg & see what effect this has before giving any more.

Hi there,

Charlie had suffered with really bad skin problems last year and I kept taking him to the vets, and the vet just kept injecting him with antibiotics but it stilll returned. So I did a bit of research and with the help of my dog trainer I came across Dorwest herbs. I feed Charlie garlic and fenagreek tablets and mixed vegatables tablets and have not been back to the vets in over 6 months  :)
The tablets have really done his skin the world of good, no more scabs or dry skin.
