Re: My dog's dry skin

You mention a brand name dog food.  Just because it is brand name, doesn't
mean its any good.

Let me give you an example.  Most dog foods can change what their mix is
depending on the price of lamb, beef, chicken, etc...  they can change this
for up to 6 months without violating common dog food standards.  Science
Diet is the only one I know of which does not change their formula based on
what type of meat is cheap that day.  Additionally, I feed my dogs their
"Sensitive Skin" product and it has done wonders!  Good food (not just name
brand) makes a huge difference.

Good Luck!
