Hi Michelle... I feed 3 of the adults Wellness by Old Mother Hubbard because of the dogs health no idea what my dogs coats are compared to other dogs, never paid attention so i dont know what it does for the coat.. but being a PARANOID dog lover i chose this food to avoid GI stuff... regardless of how it comes to be.. i am going to do what i can to feed them the best food around that can help them avoid any problems... My German female came to me on Royal Canine and she loves it... apparently they feel it lessons the bloat thing too, however, if possible and not genetic and doomed to have it :) I also use the Super 5 Supplement made by Wellness on all the adult dogs.... again, just doing the best i can to avoid TGS, Bloat etc... Here are links to both foods... my first favorite is Wellness and the second is Royal Canine German Shepherd 24 NOT PUPPY FOOD.. ONLY their adult food.. i only use Wellness Puppy. All the Wellness foods are baked and do not have any junk in it... and useful ingredients, it doesnt swell not gassy etc.. http://www.omhpet.com/dogs/dry_intro.asp?pCode=dry check the ingredients table and chart for vitamins then for Royal Canine http://www.caninehealthnutrition.com/germanshepherd.htm i will not use their puppy food, i dont feed my dogs corn, no use for it... so i wont feed the puppies it either... this goes back over 5 yrs now i am using the Wellness... I am trying to talk to the company about a Breeders program... i get a puppy back with samples and a duffle bag etc.. for my puppy buyers and i want them to start a proof of purchase program for breeders like Royal Canine does. RC, i get 7 bags then mail in the PROOF OF PURCHASE and get a coupone for a free bag... Anyone else feed Wellness?
