What Makes a Coat Shine?

Have you ever seen a dog with a coat fit for a Pantene commercial? Chances are, his diet consists of premium protein and vegetables! Diet is single most important factor affecting coat health – particularly the quality and quantity of dietary protein. Without sufficient protein, hair may become brittle or dry and eventually fall out, leaving pets unprotected from the elements and unable to regulate body temperature efficiently. A balanced diet is also necessary to obtain optimal amounts of certain vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A, E and B2, all of which play a role in skin and coat health.

It’s all about quality! Quality ingredients contain nutrients that are easily digestible, and able to put those nutrients to work for the coat, skin, and even liver and kidney function. Foods containing corn or wheat as the primary ingredient provide lower quality nutrition and should be avoided if possible. Instead look for foods that contain lean proteins and healthy fats, with smaller amounts of quality carbohydrates. Evanger’s Grain-Free Hand Packed Braised Beef Chunks with Gravy is an ideal example of quality nutrition for dogs. Its very first ingredients include: Beef, Beef Broth, Carrots, Peas, and Potatoes (in that order!), offering a delectable variety of natural USA farm grown nutrition to support a healthy coat.
