Dog Food
Just picked up the dog from the groomer. He has been on Doggy Atkins - grain free food - for over 2 years. The groomer was commenting on how beautiful his coat is. The only supplements he gets is an occasional fish oil capsule.
In case you are wondering where I am going with this - I have seen more than one comment on how Atkins causes hair loss. All I can say is that I have nice thick full hair, and apparently, so does my dog.

Too funny, Buffy! And, yes, they do think they are people. She cracks me up, pure entertainment most of the time. I found out she was allergic to corn and wheat earlly on, so I've always fed her human grade dog food. Trader Joe's has a great one! Mine is all white, but has those horrible reddish brown stains on her face that I just can't seem to get rid of. Does yours have this problem?

My sincere compliments to you and your dog on your your thick beautiful hair!

lol Buffy!! Well I would love your thick hair, not to mention the colour - lucky girl!! But I think it would take more than the Atkins diet for me to have lovely hair like yours!
