My dogs eat a very high protein freeze dried raw brand. Would the additional nutrition really be necessary for hair growth?

I think the supplement does help hair growth. My Shih Tzu had horrible skin, was shaved bald to aid in healing. Since I've given her the supplement daily, her coat has come back in very soft, shiny, and plentiful and her skin is better also (granted she has been on strong RX medications too). Good Luck.

hair growth, unknown. But the Omega 3 & 6 helps to relieve dry flaky skin & produces a shiny coat

None listed on the nutrition label unless it's a product of another ingredient, but I would say no. You will get increased energy though from the many vitamins, minerals and the power amino complex.

No. I have asked the company many times, as they claim this is CLEAN protein in all of their marketing. Management at BulkSupplements is obviously not interested in the long term health of the consumer. I certainly look on milk and yogurt products for assurance of not being treated with growth hormones....and the same goes for any protein supplement which is 100% derived from dairy. Take a look at Jay Robb protein as a healthier alternative.

I am not certain if it is high enough in calcium. However, the base mix is intended for you to provide meat/bones to your dog with it. So my dog eats an assortments of raw meats, bones, organs, etc. with the base mix...I just rotate the assortment throughout the week. I hope that helps.

Yes. But use sparingly yet daily . Also add virgin coconut oil for the omega -3s, the most beneficial fat for dogs

I used cooked ground lean turkey and lean beef with about 10% liver. I add fish oil and yogurt. I'm studying food animal medicine as part of my veterinary medicine program and no longer feel comfortable feeding my dogs raw meat, unfortunately. My concern is mostly with tumor causing viruses like BLV that are ubiquitous in our meat supply-organic or not. It is inactivated by heat. I do wish I could comfortably feed them raw meat though--I know it has it's advantages. That's why I supplement with Yogurt and fish oil.

I've added it to their food and all seemed okay. I do raw and when I don't feel like doing fresh veggies and fruit I use this product. Dogs have been on raw a long time and this is great method for me. I grind the food too because it is convenient for me to serve them in bowls.

Surely the hugs and kisses supplement is a good source of fish oil. Really helps dogs coat be soo shiny.

Not sure about all natural. Spent time reading all the reviews and ratings I could find on line. I was given a puppy six months old from the humane society. He was being fed Purina Puppy Chow. Was thin and Scrawny. Put him on Taste of the Wild and he has has gained 17 lbs,filled out with muscle , coat is better also. Good stuff very nutritious. Chose it over Blue Buffalo. Similar ratings . Price was better for same or better quality through Amazon. Appreciate the Prime 2 day shipping as well. Taste is up to your pet and his or her preference. Very pleased with this brand .

I agree with the post from D. Cohen. The food is so healthy that they don't need to eat as much. I have two little dogs (under 20 lbs) and they only get 1/4 cup two times a day. Their coats are shiny and they look healthy so it pleases me. Just my opinion but I have read some mixed reviews on the raw food diet so please do a little more research on that. Good luck! and I promise Orijen is worth every penny!!!!!!

I think for older dogs they don't need a pure protein diet. I think having some grain in their diet would better suit them as they are not as active as puppies/teenagers.

Crude protein is 32%; crude fat is 18%. I find I can feed slightly less and maintain weight on my dogs. we have three - a 6.5 year old Lab, a 12.5 year old Golden, and a 15.5 year old mixed breed (about 32 lbs.). I had originally had a lot of problem with the oldest female. She was losing weight continually on her senior feed and no matter how much I fed, I could not get her to gain weight. She loves Taste of the Wild and despite her age, she has no problems digesting it. I highly recommend this feed - any of the flavors. All our dogs are more active and healthier since we've transitioned them over 3 years ago. Crude protein is 32%; crude fat is 18%.

I would recommend it for healthy joint growth and supplement. We adopted a 7mo old German shepherd/Rottweiler mix that we bought this for and we're happy with it thus far. We also feed a high-quality food.

Hemp protein, naturally has more than enough fiber, secondary to high protein. I have no knowledge of added fiber????

Personally I would add it after - it really is no trouble to sprinkle on however much you need and then mix it in a little. I personally don't "cook" my dogs food - it is fed raw - I mix it in before feeding along with any other supplements I am adding. Cooking does destroy certain nutrients and I believe it's best not to take a chance. Hope this helps!

There is hydrolyzed wheat protein and silk, towards the bottom of listed ingredients. I'm not a chemist, but maybe the different alcohols, the water, and "puffed up" animal proteins work towards hydrating hair. FYI: use small dime sized amounts before blow drying/ironing, cause it reacts to heat.
