We have been feeding our 17 week old Golden Innova Large Breed. The Vet recomended DermaPet Eicosaderm . Is this a good idea or is not needed?
What's in it? It may not be needed, but it may not hurt. Can't really say. :)
How is your pup doing on the food? Is it the LB puppy or LB adult?

I forgot to say--it's the large breed puppy.

I would go with a salmon oil personally...
How is she doing on it? Why would the vet make that recommendation? Is her skin flaky or something? It sounds like a skin/coat supplement.

I'm assuming that it has a lot of eicosapentanoic acid, thus the name "Eicosaderm". Docosahexaenoic acid is more beneficial for your puppy's cognitive development but you want to keep things balanced.
I don't think the supplement will be of any major benefit. Fish body oil (specifically salmon) would be much more beneficial.
I use Lakse Kronch, others on this board prefer Grizzly Salmon Oil.

Is Lakse Kronch a biscuit or a liquid?

Both the Grizzly and the Kronch are liquids.
