I am stuggling with myself should I switch my dog's food. He is currently 1 yr old and weighs 38lbs. He is on Fromm Beef and Fritatta. Now here are my reasons as to why I am struggling to leave him on or switch. He is currently dropping loads 4 - 5 times a day. When he goes sometimes it's a soft solid and others it's a soft solid that transitions into a soft serve. He has a tear stain on one side which I have tried everything but it does not go away. It get's lighter for a while but then it goes back to being dark. He also developed an ear infection in which the vet said he sees yeast cells when he looked at the ear wax under the microscope. He is now taking ear drops once a day to clear it up. Other than that he is doing well. He has a great temperament and every once in a while I may catch him licking his foot. Even though he is on the smaller side for a bulldog he is well proportioned and the vet says he may just be a smaller bully. I am constantly thinking if his food isn't the best one for him because of these symptoms but everyone on hear says how they had such good results with Fromm so I am not sure.
My other dilemma besides struggling with a switch is if I do what food do I switch too? He is allergic to chicken and when he was a very young pup he turned red immediately after eating my Pugs food that had Salmon in it. (That was my mistake not paying attention when the two were eating). So I know Salmon is out. My options would have to be beef or a similar type of protein.
What are your thoughts? Am I right for thinking about a switch or am I over analyzing? I am attaching some pics so you can see how he looks.
