You could tell them about our other member on here BGBY I think was her name. Her dog had almost the exact same thing going on and within days of her switching to raw, the dog already smelled better, was more active, her hair was growing back, and she just seemed happier.
Tell your parents that a raw food diet for pets is the absolute best and cheapest diet they could give their dog. The dog will eat less, shed less, poop less, and have a much better coat and teeth. As my sig says "An ounce of nutrition is worth a pound of vet bills." They will spend much more money treating the symptoms and all the problems of this poor dog than they will switching to raw, guaranteed.
Ask them to give raw a try for 8 weeks and if they don't start to see any improvements by that time, then they can laugh in your face and tell you you're wrong and you will have to tell them they're right and take the dog to a vet (sometimes just getting to prove someone wrong and hear them tell you that is reward enough for some people, I know I love being right :biggrin
. Or some sort of similar deal. Just ask them to give raw a try for 8 weeks, prey model raw (the premade crap has too many allergens in it to guarantee an improvement), switching how you/we recommend.
