Get Rid of Your Dog’s Dull Coat and Bare Patches

04/15/2007

Sophie Gets Her Hair BackI’m not usually very optimistic about all of those “miracle cures” for dog coat and skin problems. However, my poor Sophie has terrible allergies and hot spots and was starting to look like wool at a moth convention, even with constant oatmeal baths, an expensive new dog food and cortizone shots. So, when I saw the Pets Alive supplement from Gardens Alive, I decided it was worth a try.
Well, it has been about three weeks and Sophie has hair back on her ears and the big bald spot by her tail that never went away is now gone. Her coat is shiny and she doesn’t itch as often, although she still itches some. Consider me impressed!
If you’d like to try Pets Alive, you can order directly from Gardens Alive.
