He's an 9 week old pup and I want him to have a nice coat as well as skin and teeth.

Your little Lhasa is so lucky that you care enough to feed him the very best! A quality diet is the very best favor you can do for your new best friend.
There are many high quality dog foods available these days..I used to feed Nutro Chicken/Rice...My pups grew great, and, as my breed is long-coated, they had gorgeous coats in no time...
However, their teeth were always stained..I never knew why, but they seemed to need constant cleaning, to be ready to show..
So, I switched to Eukenuba, and they had better teeth, and nice coats..but bowels were always loose...
I fed Abady's for 2 litters, and liked what it did for the pups..but it stank..and was too un-handy....
I fed Purina Pro Plan when it came out..Pups did well..no complaints...
However, my supplier recommended Canidae 21/2 years ago..WOW! I never knew that my oldsters could be so rejuvenated! Suddenly they were putting on gorgeous coats, and acting as puppies..full of play..dancing as we walked...It just blew me away...
Then I took a 10 year old to have a cyst removed, and the vet came out amazed at her blood-work..he said that it was that expected in a 4-5 year old...He also said that he always cleans teeth while they are 'under', but that her teeth were absolutely clean..
I took another in to be spayed, at 7 years old, and the vet was amazed at how white and clean her teeth were..and then when he took out stitches..commented that she healed so fast that the incision was already hard to see...
All my dogs have just thrived on Canidae, and I would sure recommend it..It is made from all human grade ingredients, and natural preservatives..
there are other foods that are likely as good..but, as Canidae is easy to find, and they are doing so well, I wouldn't want to switch..
Other great dog foods that you can find most places, are Wellness, Innova, Solid Gold, Wysong, Natural Balance,

I have been giving my Lhasa Apso Nutro ever since we got him. He is now a year and a half and he's as healthy as an ox(knock on wood) And never overweight. He also loves the nutro deserts like pumpkin cobblers and apple pies. You can find Nutro at Petsmart. Best of luck with your new puppy, Lhasa's are the sweetest doggies :)

All of my dogs are on Diamond brand dog food. Lots of breeders use it for their breeding/show dogs. You will have to check your local co-op/farm feed stores for it. Get the one that is age appropriate. People always comment on what gorgeous coats my dogs (Doberman, Cockapoo, and a Boston Terrier) have. I did have a Lhasa that I fostered after hurricane Katrina, and fed it to him as well.

stay away from food with main ingrediants containing corn, wheat or soy. these are just fillers and are the most common food allergy in pet food. i feed my dog solid gold. he's almost 13 yrs. old and in great shape.
