Does food play a role in shedding?

Hi... I've just changed my dog's food to a new brand...it's been about 3 weeks now and I've noticed a decline in his shedding --- He is a Siberian Husky and even thought I was brushing him twice a week - he was shedding alot -- after I changed his food (not for the shedding reason -- only because I researched and found that the brand I was giving him was not very good) -- I've noticed he isn't shedding as much.

Does anyone know if it could be the food change?

Thanks

Of course! A better diet will do wonders to your dog. What are you feeding?

A pet's coat is often a reflection of what they eat. Feed your pet with quality food. That will help minimize shedding. There are also other dog food which promote shedding.

Adding Omega 3's and 6's will also help with shedding and skin conditions.
