dry dogfood

oh ok i didnt see your post yet
Most likely we'll be getting Nutro.

That's a great food, good choice

ACTUALLY if I remember correctly, my PetCo I worked at DID sell it but they weren't... keeping a contract with the company or the certain line of food was being discontinued or something... I don't know if it was solid gold, but I do know that it was a cat food and had the name gold in it.

Along with switching to Nutro (as I said in a previous post, Charlie has dry/itchy skin as well) I added 1tbsp of vegetable oil (soybean oil) to his food a day and that helped A LOT!! Be careful though if you do this, some dogs are allergic to soy.

Like I said though, Nutro is THE ONLY pet food guaranteed by the US Government to improve skin and coat conditions or your money back

I would try just switching to the food at first and give it a couple of weeks. If his skin starts getting dry again add some kind of oil to the food. Fish Oil (Omega-6 or -3) works good too, as well as flax seed oil (I think).

yeah fish oil is expensive though

anyway I only gave it to him for maybe a month then stopped (cause we ran out) but he is doing SO much better

They sell the Solid Gold at the PetCo near me, but not at petsmart. It's good that you're switching brands, good luck with his skin!

I use to feed Eagle Pack Holistics, but all of a sudden all my dogs refused to eat it. Currently I am feeding ProPlan, and I read a few of you don't recommend it, but my dogs are actually doing very well on it, and so far this litter is doing awesome too. I was thinking about Nutro, I try to switch my dogs food every 6 months or so for a little variety, so I may try Nutro at some point. I have a friend who has her Golden on the Nutro Ultra, and she's pleased with the results so far.

Be careful switching foods too often, it can cause some dogs to be very picky!!

I've actually found it to help them with being picky, strangly enough. My dogs are weirdos.. lol

[Jessika]

Well I guess if you're only switching between two brands then it won't make that big of a difference, you know? But some people like, buy a new brand every month, whatever's on sale at Walmart and stuff. I know my parents used to do that with our dog, Perdy. And because of her poor diet, she died an early age

A lot of dogs do "well" on ProPlan, but they'll do even better on a higher quality food. ProPlan is packed full of fillers and unnecessary things your dog doesn't need.

Nova's really picky, which I find very odd since she's a Lab

Yeah, I've had them on "high quality" holistic foods before, we've done Wellness, Eagle, and California Natural in the past... They actually have better coats and energy levels on ProPlan, believe it or not .. But I suppliment them too, so that might have some influence on it.
