EVO's protein comes from meat. Dogs digest and
assimilate meat protein much easier than protein derived from
grain.

Thanks for your post. I am also thinking the high protein
food has a lot to do with the dramatic coat change in my dog. She was
very healthy when we made the change she just seemed to be developing
itchiness and we thought it might be allergy to the food we were feeding her
so we looked for a food without wheat, etc. Her very thick undercoat
seems to whirl itself into clumps which will knot if we don't keep after them.
She is not shedding very much at all--yet. I am still trying to work out
if high protein (Evo) dog food is good for a five year plus dog.

It has been my experience with the two collies I adopted and the 2
adopted Pyrs that once you get them on a high quality food, the coat
blossoms. I used to feed Innova, and it really helped the coat of the
Blue Doberman I adopted, and the Red Doberwoman I adopted is now 14 years
and 4 months old. She is still going strong, and "rules" the two
Pyrs. I do believe it's all in the food. Colleen's (3.5
YO) coat is so thick with undercoat that you can barely dig your
fingers down to the skin on her rump, and Bone is the same way. He is
almost 3, and has had a total change since I adopted him in November of
'08. I would really like to know what the best brushes are, and
grooming tips for these walking hairballs! With regard to spot-on flea
meds, many of them have an oily base, so that could be why the skin seems
oily down the middle of the back.
