One of my ex-roomates calls my dog, Chewbacca a "fur factory". He had the displeasure of living with this sweet, but otherwise constantly shedding animal, and virtually drowning in the fur that collected on the floors and carpets. I feel as though I have "Chew" on a very good dog food, but he is getting older and having a thick undercoat, he just has a tendency to shed - constantly. This shedding season, I had enough! He had also begun to scratch constantly, though he had no fleas to speak of. I did some Web research and discovered that adding Omega 3's and 6's might do the trick. I began by cutting open and adding the oil from one of my own fish and Vitamin E oil capsules to his food. I also vigorously combed him with an undercoat rake to remove excess fur, dead skin and to improve circulation. After only a few days there was improvement. His coat was shinier and he was scratching less. I did some further research and discovered that there were supplements especially for dogs (and cats) for shedding and skin improvement. I decided upon Shed Pro. It comes in granules or in an oil that is added directly to your pet's food. There is also a guarantee that if you don't like the product, that you can return it for a full refund. Anyway, there has been massive improvement. Shed Pro contains Lecithin, Soybean, Safflower, Sunflower, Olive, Cod Liver Oils (source of Vitamins A, B Complex, E, Linolenic and Linoleic Acids), Natural Flavors, Garlic and Zinc, and there is no water added. "Chew" likes the taste and is now sports a healthier, shinier coat. Now I can't wait for this shedding season to end, as this product does not interfere with seasonal shedding. (via amazon.com)
