I work in the pet industry and time and time again I see large breed short hair dogs come into our store with coat issues. My first question is nutrition. The benefits of the right Nutro brand are amazing. It is an all inclusive food, you do not need to supplement if you are on the correct one. I have switched numerous labs, dobermans, pit bulls, and others over to this food and have seen signifigant change in their skin and coat. My own dogs are on this food. The flakes disappear and the shine comes though and the best part...they shed less or virtually not at all. The added benefit of hip and joint care is something that you may not think of when your dog is a puppy but Nutro has handles that for you to and it will help the dog age with less issues. They also go to the bathroom less because their bodies are actually using more of the food that they take in so in turn, less comes out. There is a Nutro out there for every dog. They use the parts of the meat the you or I would eat, not the excess stuff. Our dogs only get what we give them, why not give them something good? I will say if you still have a coat issue, maybe your dog has allergies involved and you would need to switch to the lamb and rice formula. Nutro has a buy 10 get 1 free program and if you sign up online they will send you a coupon book. They even have reps that work inside pet store so you can ask questions and have help finding the right Nutro for your dog.
