The Truth about Shedding

Did you realize that dogs shed more when they get nervous?  In fact, the shedding is a response to the protective instinct.  It has been shown that a dog will shed to make himself more “slippery” for an easy escape if he believes that he is in danger.

Now we all know that dogs shed their coats when they are preparing for winter, to grow new and heavier coats.  In the spring the dog will prepare for the warmer weather by losing the excess fur that has protected them during the chilly winter months.

We wonder about the food that we buy for our dogs, and at best, we hope that what we’re offering is really what it say it is. 

But, simply because we put the food in the dish and our beloved canine pal eats it, it does not necessarily mean that he’s getting all of the nutrients that are required to keep him at the top of his game, and in the best of health.  Even premium dog foods sometimes fall slightly short of what they “should” be, for any number of reasons.
