From what I have read, you do not want to give them Cod Liver Oil, but Fish Oil and Vitamin E are good for Dandruff and Dry Skin. I have read that you can give them Sardines to get the Fish Oil if you don't want to use a supplement. There is also Missing Link that you can get at Petsmart that is a supplement. You should probably ask your vet first though. I am sure they would be happy to recommend something for you :)

The best for the coat or skin is the cats food oil that they have in their canned foods.its better than codliver oil. Buy whiskas canned food get the oil and mix it with the food.Believe me its good

While this may be good for their coasts, it's HORRIBLE for the rest of their bodies. The gravy/oil in the Whiskas is full of fat and calories, which causes everything from obesity to diabetes to pacreatits.

The BEST way to get a soft, shiny coat is good nutrition, paired with proper grooming. A good, soap free, oatmeal shampoo bath once a week AT THE MOST, and a cream rinse if you'd like, followed by a good brushing with keep the dirt from building, and the spread the natural oils over the coat. Supplement can help if you feed a lower quality food, like Kibble's and Bits. But if you feed Science Diet, or Eukanuba, you shouldn't need supplements at all.

If your stiil looking for an at-home remedy, try a little bit of plain, scrambled egg once or twice a week. The oils in egg can help with the coat condition.
