colour and hair - Page 1

Hallo everybody Can someone please tell me some solutions about how to make hair and colour better? What i mean is more red and more rich hair. Please suggest me some products and their sites to make the orders. Thanks for the help.

Nastazia, raw carrots few for a long time tend to improve the reddish tones, and the dog can eat them usually without any problems. They can't digest most of the carrot, and must pass it. I tend to cut the carrots into small pieces, or buy the small salad carrots and feed these. How many a day? I ususally just use two (2) or three (3) of the small carrots per dog. Avoid excessive bathing and strong sunlight. Most GSD's do well with but two (2) or three (3) baths per year. One (1) more thing-the raking of the undercoat and the brushing of the top coat not only keeps the dog clean, but it promotes hair growth and tends to make it stronger. Lastly, for a slight improvement the skin and coat you can try a Norwegian kelp and brewer's yeast supplement that can be added to the food. How well it will work depends on the dog. Bob-O

So many factors come into play when considering hair and coat. feed, supplementals, environment, parasites, condition, even excercise and stress all effect the coat. As far as color, well maybe not so much, other than what Bob0 suggested. But richness, thickness, and health of the coat are all effected by the above list. There are a wealth of supplements out there that include the Omega's for the health of skin and coat. Parasites can effect the coat dull, dry, even unorthodox shedding. Stress can cause untimely shedding as well. Environment, sand causes coats to be rough, dull, can cause skin irritation, which leads to chewing at times, can cause the skin to become over dry, and so many more things. Wet environment leads to fungal issues if the coat is not properly cared for. The coat is as complex a care issue as is feed, parasite control, (internal and external) and other health care factors. It is yet another "holy grail" And litterally this subject could go on and on, and probably will go on and on. Posative forward movement into animal health is good to see continue.
