    TLDR Increasing dietary zinc improves dogs' hair growth and coat condition.
    The study investigated the impact of increasing dietary zinc up to 4.5 times the maintenance level from three different commercially available sources on the hair growth characteristics in dogs. It aimed to assess the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of hair, as these factors are indicative of coat condition. The research was based on previous findings that both the concentration and form of dietary zinc affect an animal's zinc status and coat condition.
