Reggie Shedding Problem

[Hellow]

Ok, this has been going on for two years but since we moved to a place with green carpet brings this problem to light. When she got her shots two years ago, she started shedding alot. They were unusually cheap shots. I have used thoes anti-shedding shampooes but nothing works. Any ideas on how to cut down on her shedding?

Generally, a better diet will reduce shedding a bit. Brush her daily and that will also help.

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.

What are you feeding? a lot of shedding issues are caused by diet.
