It's not just hair quality that is affected by dog food - there's been a terrible rise in cancers (especially lymphoma) in dogs over the past few decades. It's not a far leap to assume it may be because of what they're eating. Also, many dogs are allergic to wheat; after all, they're not grazers.. It's no coincidence that natural, healthy, wheat-free dog food is more expensive than grocery store brands that contain mostly corn, wheat, and animal by-products. When it comes to dog food, you get what you pay for.
Coincidentally, we're having a bit of a problem with our male Golden - his hair is getting all weird on his back legs, and getting much lighter in color on his front legs. We have an appointment Friday with a dermatological veterinarian. My wife has said, "Geez - we spend $50 every two weeks for dog food and we're still getting this?!" We'll see what the vet says, although he's had this forever. We thought it was just "puppy hair" at first, but he's two years old now, and it seems to be getting worse. Maybe in a few days I'll retract my endorsement of Canidae.
