I was using Blue Buffalo but unfortunately when Amber turned 18 months old she developed some type of allergy and I am not sure if it was food related or just a seasonal thing. My new puppy Ruby has terrible tear stains and they seemed to get worse on Blue Buffalo so I was in a search for a kibble to use. I narrowed it down to Canidae Pacific, Acana Pacific, and Wellness Core Ocean. if I went to Fromm I would have to order it for my location and found Canidae Pacific was the same problem with the ordering. A friend of mine has decided to try the Acana Pacific but she goes to Tucson more than I do so I just started with the Wellness Core Ocean to see if it makes a difference on the tear stains or not. I have to go travel quite a bit in the next two months so I have about 9 weeks to determine if this one will work or not. Neither of mine have lost any hair, as a matter of fact they shed very little except for the seasonal shedding of the winter coat. Both have coats like glass but the tear stains drive me crazy. They have no odor, no yeasty feet, ears are clean, tails are good,nothing other than the tear stains so we will see how the Wellness Core Ocean works. What I have noticed is Ambers white hair under her chin is coming back white, it did have some brown in it and that is how I knew something wasn't working. So her diet has been stripped for almost a month now and her chin hair is back to white and it might be wishful thinking but the tear stains seem to be getting less and less. As for Ruby, well she is teething so I am just keeping her tear stains as clean as possible and hoping for the best. We will see. Good luck, it is a science of trial and error.
