But i've thought there was something up with this little guys fur, since the day we picked him up. He has always been very "downy"--like an outer coat--& the vet thinks hes just losing that--but it doesn't seem like much is coming in under it to me.
Anyway--my actual question Is for good food suggestions. (i know every dog is different) just curious what you have had good success with? He is currently on Canidae ALS & I understand they just changed formula's. (which i'm not thrilled to hear) I was thinking of trying a lamb & rice formula--our 13yr. dobe has been on that his whole life, because of skin probs. he had very young. But would like to hear other opinions.
thanks |
I am by NO means an expert, but switching foods sounds like a pretty good idea. You don't have much to lose since Canidae changed their formula anyway.
Switching to a lamb or fish based food would be idea to rule out chicken as the culprit.
I don't have my pup yet, but I've heard good things on this board about Pro Plan and Blue Buffalo.
We're going to put our pup on Blue Buffalo Large breed when we get her in a few weeks.
