oh of course every dog is different and if it works good for your dog then keep him on it for sure! plus the ingredients are terrific. They do have very different coats
Max was half Shar-pei so he has very short course fur. You have a Maltese so the fur is VERY different. Different foods for different dogs, find what works and stick with it. My future dogs will be fed Canidae unless they do poorly on it.
