I know, that I agree with lol! I feed per vet recommendations, which is 4 cups a day total...and he's still skinny right now lol. I'm sure as an adult we will cut down Food recommendations are ridicolous; he's on Natures Variety raw too and if I feed HALF of what the recommend he gains 5lbs week which is too much. He should be 2-3lbs a week, which I would feed maybe a quarter.

dogfoodanalysis looks at ingredients not protein and carb levels.

I agree rinsing with a conditioner is best, it sounds like the shampoo overly dried out his coat

I know, that was just an example

I chickened out, one of the ladies from his groomers came in today for business and I complained so they are accommodating him tomorrow.

Hope his coat is all back to normal now!
A great thing for keeping coats looking amazing is Omega 3. I use Fish4dogs SOS salmon oil in Milo's food, and we're always getting compliments about how great his coat looks

I really like a shampoo and conditioner from TrueBlue for my lab Sam. The products are all natural, no detergents or chemicals, and they do NOT strip the natural oil that you want to leave in the dogs skin. Plus they smell great-- very fresh, not artificial. I get them at Amazon.
