Don't get me wrong, I give her baths, the vet clips her nails, I take the goo out, brush her teeth and hair regularly.

The point is that I know diet has an effect in their health and appearance.

What do you recommend?
Everyone will have a different idea of what is "best" so it is really hard to say- but there are some guidelines when looking at dog food labels.

Stay away from any food that has "bi products" as ingredients- these are parts of animals that are not fit for human consumption- so you dont' want your pup eating it!

Make sure at least the first, if not first two, ingredients are meat.

Stay away from any food containing corn- our pups tend to be allergic to it.

Look for "good starches" potato, brown rice....

If i was feeding kibble (i home cook for Layla)- i would probably go with Nature's Variety or Orijen.

Make sure when you make the transition to do it slowly- your pup might have af ew days of loose poops but that is normal
