I like the picture (including the green pot) but I still cannot believe Dudley is already 14 and hardly any grey hair on his face!!!!  amazing...

Fourteen & one month! I cherish every day w/my sweet guy. Dudley's lack of grey hair is a mystery.

He has some grey around his mouth but that's about it.

And he had a little more grey when I adopted him.Then the Vet put Dudley on all fish kibbles to

which I add  Omega powder and various Chinese herbs. D's  coat grew in redder, shaggier

and thicker this winter. His previous owner said his coat had never looked so healthy!

 I must believe diet plays a huge role?

I have no doubt about diet playing a huge role, for Dudley and for us. Is it possible for you to share more of Dudley's diet? for instance which type of various Chinese herbs?

First, the manufacturer appears to have applied friendly bacteria to the surface of the kibble after cooking. These special probiotics are used to enhance a dog’s digestive and immune functions.

And lastly, this food also contains chelated minerals… minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.

All things considered, the ingredients used to make Orijen Adult dog food appear to be first rate.
