We took her to the vet. The vet run every possible blood test she could think of to add to our bill. She said there was nothing wrong with our German Shepherd except for the apparent discomfort she was experiencing. She prescribed some antibiotics that seemed to help improve the situation but without permanently solving it. Poor Nel kept scratching constantly. Her tail kept refusing to grow back.
My proud German Shepherd started to look more like a stray, neglected dog right in front of my eyes. Then one day a thought crossed my mind:
"What if it's her food that causes all this? What if I'd start feeding her with a vegan food instead of the "regular" kind?"
I was a vegan myself for already six months and my new life style kept to amaze me with its incredible benefits. I thought, "Why not turning my German Shepherd into a vegan dog as well?"
So I did. I ignored all the negative opinions of so called "experts" on how dogs are carnivores, how they need to eat meat, and how vegan diet isn't natural to them. I kept feeding Nel with vegan dog food made by Evolution Diet Pet Food.
The positive changes in my ten year old German Shepherd were more numerous and noticeable that I would have expected. Within a month her new gorgeous, long fur was back only to surprise me with a shine which was never present before. Nel stopped scratching herself practically within days on being on her new diet. Her energy level kept increasing. Her tail got the message and started to grow back. The "hot flashes" were gone, replaced by smooth, even looking, shiny like never before fur. I thought I hit a jackpot with this vegan dog food when my German Shepherd started to look so great, but that wasn't all yet...
The bad doggie-breath I used to fight with different supplements before, went away completely on its own this time.
Within three month of using vegan dog food I noticed one more thing, I noticed I haven't been vacuuming my house as often as I used to. Yep, the shedding had stopped! My couch, my clothes and my carpets are not anywhere nearly covered with hair as they used to!
Here is Nel eight months after being on vegan diet:

And here is a picture of my German Shepherd when she started to lose her fur. Look closely and you'll see that the "dark stick" at the end of her tail is indeed her naked tail exposed:
What a big difference!
