Shedding husky and flea allergy;

Question
QUESTION: Hello,
I have a 3 year old, Siberian Husky. She seems to be loosing quite a bit of fur, I have to vacuum up to three times a day, and she is still shedding... I heard from a friend, we might be able to change her food to help. We do feed her a high protein food, is that ok? could it be part of the problem? Also the Fleas are just taking over the poor girl, I use Frontline Plus, as the directions state; and we started it in April/ or may... I never miss a treatment and she is still being eaten alive.... any suggestions??

ANSWER: Hi Elizabeth, Yes, I am glad you contacted me.  What food are you feeding her?  Brand and flavor please?
I have a feeling it is allergies to the fleas...
I do have lots of help for you...
JUST get back to me with the food.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Liz - The Call of the Wild is a very Good food!  I would NOT change that at all..
Let's deal with the flea situation:  I have some very good Natural Help for you..

Please get some Organic D.E. - SEE here - this is what you need - dust it on your baby 1 x per day or every other day - work it into the skin.  VERY SAFE...
Place it on bedding and even around the yard.

Also, I would like to see your dog start on 1 1/2 NuVET Wafers per day -
*this is an Immune system booster / allergy Blaster / skin and coat Healer...
and HELP to get rid of the fleas:

Here is the link with D.E. and NuVET:
I am sure this will help...
