The zoom groom is amazing! They have them at Petsmart already like already mentioned, you can also get them various places online. They have a blue one and a pink one if it matters.
I feed my pups Canidae supplemented with Evangers 100% meat formulas and I also alternate between The Missing Link and Solid Gold's Seameal for vitamins. I also have a bottle of salmon oil I squirt on their food once or so times a week. I also give them a raw egg over their food once a week. They get yogurt too in Kongs.
When the furnance starts running, we definitely get dried out, all of us. I run a humidifier for a few hours a day to help keep all of us live things a bit hydrated, including the plants. I don't let it run 24/7 though because a too moist environment increases dust mite growth which is not good for Stephen's allergies.
Dozer is the only one shedding badly right now but I think he is going through somewhat of a detox. He was a rescue and was nothing but skin and bones. His coat is real dull and rough and his toenails are splitting. The vet said his toenails splitting is caused by him being starved and now that they are growing out, there is a weak spot and the split there. He is on antibiotics to prevent infection in the quick. So he isn't a very good example but Brady and Abbie aren't shedding much.
