Shiny Coat
If you want a great food that will give your dog's coat a great shine, try Acana or Orijen. The Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acid ratio ranges from 4 to 1 to 2 to 1 depending on which flavor you buy. The closer the ratio is to 2 to 1 the more fish oil the food will have which will help his coat look its best.
I have tried many different brands in the past, but Acana is the only food that I will feed my dog. It is not the cheapest but worth every penny.
I am currently feeding Acana Pacifica which has a 2 to 1 (Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio).
No matter which brand you decide on, stay away from grain heavy foods.

This site is amazing and so many people really contribute to there experiences. What ever you do never ever feed your pup chocolate... I know you may not but these guys get into things and they always want a taste of what we have..

It was already said but read the sticky, but a quick run down of common things off the top of my head, chocolate can cause cardiac arrest, salt can cause the brain to swell, grapes/raisins can kill a dog as well (forget what it does) among other things that would be common in your home, however do keep these two things in mind.
If you have a puppy syringe or even a baby one if your dog eats something poisonous you can mix half hydrogen peroxide with half water and shoot it down their throat and it will cause projectile vomit to help get the poison out of their stomach. Also if your dog eats anything that could have sharp edged from splinter bones to safety pins or glass you can take cotton balls and soak them in evaporated pet milk and feed them to your dog and it will attract the sharp object to it and help your dog pass it without it tearing into their intestines. (A vet visit would be ideal but you could do this before you go just in case...)
