RE: Your dog' coat.
Is your dog an inside ou outside dog? Labs that live in an outdoor kennel tend to get a "tougher, oilier" coat. What do you feed him/her? My 3 3/4 year old lab is an inside dog and gets fed Pro-Plan. She occasionally gets some bacon grease mixed in with her a.m. meal. Her coat is silky sift, shiny and very vibrant. Hope this helps.

Idaho...try "Diamond Professional Blend" 30/20 There are many good feeds out there..and I've tried them all. This feed has been the best for my shorthairs bar none. You can find it at most feed stores or locate a dealer off their website: diamondpetfoods.com Give the food two weeks..and you will be amazed!!
Good luck,
Rick

RE: Your dog' coat.
i wouldnt think giving a dog bacon grease or kitchen grease would be a good idea to clean up a greasy coat, nor would it be healthy for the dog. what kind of food are you giving the dog now, and how often if at all do you bathe the dog??
i have an 18 month old who gets Dogchow wth alpo can food mixed in, gets a bath every month or so and is inside at night only, gets lotsa exercise, try to take him to the woods 3-4 times a week and every now and then just let him run loose by himself, feel sorry because he is tied up a good portion of each day. work etc; has a great coat!
