Actually I have a tile floor and need to sweep at least once a day, if I dont, little 'tufts' of loose collected hair begin appearing in low draft areas...so I sweep. Common sense tells me she's not getting enough of something so I've changed her diet to minimal IAMs kibble and raw meats, cooked chicken and veggies. I give her a daily omega 3 fish oil tab and occasionally crush up one of my daily vitamin tabs. Her coat looks a bit shinier, and I still sweep. Stores no longer give or sell 'pet meat' for dogs, for fear of liability claims, from people using the meat instead of the dog...so I have to buy meat on sale in the 1.80/lb range..there goes my bowling fund. point is, I no longer count on the pet food industry to produce a non-threatening food product for my animals...they're into profit first and nutritional quality second or last...whatever, we all know that wheat, corn, barly, rice hulls etc etc...are nothing but fillers, and eventually create allergies in our pets.
