Going Grey

I have a 3-year-old Boxer and he is starting to get gray fur around his muzzle. I realize that this a natural part of aging, but does anyone know of any tricks or remedies for slowing the graying process down a bit? Fish oil perhaps?

LOL - if anyone had the answer to that one, they'd be making $ millions selling it. And many billions more applying the same cure to human greying

3 years is on the young end of the normal range for greying with boxers - but definitively still within normal range. Paying attention to diet certainly isn't going to hurt, and can have many wider benefits - but I don't think you're going to find a magic bullet in a fish oil (or any other) capsule. Greying seems to be primarily genetically determined.
