I love the flying dog photo! What do you feed her to keep her sleek and shiny?

Thanks! The sleekness is due to not feeding her much and exercising her extensively -- our vet is an agility person herself, and she's one of the few vets who recognizes that most field bred Labs are skinny by nature. Most vets will let Labs get by with too much weight on.

But the shiny coat is due to her food. She had some trouble with dry coat and dander as a puppy, so we put her on Breeder's Choice Avo-Derm dry kibble. She gets the Avo-Derm skin and coat supplement sprinkled on her food as well.

I'm not much of a health food nut, but this stuff is great. The food has avocado meal and fish oil in it, and the supplement has flaxseed meal and a bunch of other vitamins in it. No preservatives, no corn or wheat. Good stuff.
