Sugar is Shedding a Bit
Posted by Kimberly on June 18th, 2009
My mother’s dog, Sugar, is a Westie-Poo (West Highland White Terrier – Poodle cross).
She doesn’t regularly shed, but as she’s gotten older, I think she loses a bit more hair than she used to.
Being a white dog, it is espeically noticable in a few of our rooms with dark colored carpet, causing us to vacuum at least every other day!
Terriers, typically, don’t shed. They may lose some hair here and there as us humans do, but nothing more.
However, when you get into terrier cross breeds, they may very well carry those genes from a breed that sheds and lose a lot more hair than a typical purebred terrier would.
I went through the Dinovite solution questionnaire and got a specific report just specifically geared towards Sugar’s problems.
Dogs that shed excessively, or if they stink or are itching and scratching, the solution may be fixing a small deficiency in their diet, often caused by the fact that vitamins, healthy bacteria and other nutrients are lost during the processing of most commercial dog foods.
Simply adding what their missing should solve the problem.
Do what I did! Go through the solutions center at Dinovite.com to get a personalized solution for your dog or each of your dogs. Find out what your dogs are missing in their diet.

My rat terrier, Ruthie, used to shed like the dickens. I mean, she left hair everywhere. She’s just a little girl but she could not even be on my lap or I’d be covered with hair. I think we ordered dinvoite about a year ago. And it came with a tube of some fish oil too. Well, let me tell you, Ruthie spends half her day on my lap now. And, I noticed that her odor is much better too. She used to have a bit of an odor, even after we bathed her. Not any more. Even when we bathe her, she doesn’t smell like a “wet dog”. She smells fresh
I noticed they have this new “solution center” where you put your dog’s info. in and get a solution. So, I tried it and yep she has been on the right stuff for the past year. Not that I would switch her to anything else. She’s doing great! So glad that Sugar is doing well on dinovite too. It’s rare to find products in today’s market that actually work exaclty like they are supposed to.

Hi There…
That’s fabulous that Dinovite works for your Ruthie as well.
Now, is she a pure bred ratter or a mix? It’s odd that she would shed…Hmmm…
Yes, it’s tough to find something that really does work, so stick with it!!!
Thanks for coming by and contributing!

Hi Kimberly
I also share your love of the terrier, in my case a Staffordshire bull terrier. He and I are UK based and it’s his birthday today 4th july! he’s three.
I just posted a recent video on my blog about shedding, the reasons why and the answer to fix it permanently. Products can help but never resolve the underlying cause leaving dogs with exposed immune systems to the ravages of commercial dog food.
Go with what ‘REALLY’ works Kimberly, Sugar will thank you for it because her very genetic physiology is in synergy with purely natural food.
She’s a sweety.

Well, Happy Belated Birthday to your baby!!!
I’m so glad to hear about other terrier lovers out there – it’s an inspiration because these dogs are absolutey fantastic!
Owners with other breeds don’t know what they’re missing…
I agree completely with what you’re saying. Dogs were not intended to eat commercially produced dog food, just as our bodies aren’t meant for packaged foods either!
Thanks so much for the great comment Dan! Come on back by soon…
