Hi Gwen- I’ve asked myself the same question time and time again, being that I have a dog who has suffered with skin issues. I’ve seen dogs on Kibbles N Bits, Purina Pro Plan, Beneful etc that look better than my dog. I’d say Anonmously definitely has a point about good genetics. I too have felt that is a key factor. I know shiny coats are from high fat content, but why some dogs get violently ill and even die while eating some foods that other dogs thrive on is so hard to say why. It even happens with the “high end” foods. Some dogs are ill on 5 star foods that are said to be the best of the best.
