Reggie Shedding Problem

[k9krazee]

I doubt it's the shots that make her shed I was going to say exactly what Kay said, brush her on a daily basis and take a look at what you're feeding her.

I brush her daily AND i feed her Purina Bentiful.

The beneful could be (and probably is) your problem. It's a very low-end food, with very minimal nutritional value. Anything that you can find in a grocery store, wal-mart, etc. isn't a quality food at all. My dogs used to be on Nutro (which also isn't great), and since we've switched to higher end foods (Canidae and Orijen), their shedding has decreased tremendously.

If you can locate them, I'd recommend the following brands:

- Canidae (www.canidae.com)
- California Natural (www.naturapet.com)
- Innova (www.naturapet.com)
- Eagle Pack Holistic (www.eaglepack.com)

There are more out there, but those seem to be the most well tolerated by my dogs and those of friends. All of those sites have store locators on them. You won't find quality food in most chain petstores and you will pay more for the food, but it should last you longer and your dog will be much healthier.

well, my family dosent have a credit card, either.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Why would you need a credit card?

You can get any of those foods in small petstores, and most cities (if not all) carry most of the foods I mentioned above. I'm sure you could find a place where you live that sells a good quality food.

The walmart here does not sell thoes foods and my dad is not willing to go any farther than our wal-mart.

Yeah the beniful is probally the problem. Do you have a local cenix? They have canidae, and canidae is much cheaper then beniful. Beniful is just junk, it's like you eating potatoe chips all of your life. It will probally help Reggie loose weight also.

No, the only pet store that we have around here is walmart, the nearest Petsmart is in Gainesville, and the nearest little man pet store is in Cleaveland, Georgia.
