Hey guys..

Charlir is almost 2 years old anb he was loosing alot of hair and scraping a lot. I took him to the vet ( recommended here at the forum ) who told me Charlie had Dermatitis. He put him on antibiotics and also change his food ( he was on Fromm Beef ) to Royal canin SS21.

The good news is Charlie is doing amazing, no more scrapping and he is not loosing her at all but Im concern about Royal canin ingredients, also charlie didnt have any tear stains and now on this food he is getting some really bad ( maybe because the salmon oil or fish meal ).

I really need your help overhere to review the ingredients on this food and help me to get a different type of food w/o Salmon

Previous food:
Fromm beef :ashamed:
Earthborn Holistic Meadow Feast :ashamed:
NVI Beef Meal & Lamb Meal Formula and also Rabbit Meal Formula:ashamed:
Merrick Grain Free Real Pork & Sweet Potato :ashamed:

I really need some advice. Tks

Hmmmm well I have read on here that royal canine isn't all that great even though vets swear by it like here they say Science Diet is the best and its not really Sheldon did TERRIBLE on it. Have you tried Nutro? I have heard its a great food also. Merrick Whole Earth Farms is also a really good one. Sheldon did pretty good on it problem is the only place I can get it is on the internet so I might be going to Amazon to put him back on it. [MENTION=2291]cowsmom[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] can you guys shed some light?

Try him on the FROMM Pork and Peas, or the Game Bird and see how he does on it.

We had Gordo on royal canine after we got him from the breeder. But he started getting allergies and really couldn't figure out what was going so the first thing we tried was Nutro Grain Free and it has been really good and he loves it. We realised his allergies is something in the grass not the food.

Ugh...food is so hard!

I've tried SO many between my three bullies and it's really all trial and error. My latest food is California Naturals Kangaroo and Red Lentils. I have my very, very itchy bully on it and, within just a few days, his eye, ears, and wrinkles improved! I am waiting to see how he does once it takes full effect but I tried it because it's grain and gluten free PLUS it's an exotic protein, which most dogs are not allergic to. YET!

Us too, we were feeding Archie normal kibble then we switched to Royal Canin, we have had many visits to the vet cos of Archie's skin issues, the RC is better than normal off the shelf brands. We worked out it was grass seed because as it's only in summer months.

Archie is now on a raw meat and raw veg diet, with the odd raw bone, his coat shines and his tear stains have pretty much gone! I still sprinkle kibble on. I'd highly recommend it as it's also cheaper.

It's hard to pinpoint one ingredient that would be causing your EB problems because not all EBs have the same allergies.

After some trial and error with my EB, I've found that Fromms pork and peas works best with the tear stains as well as giving filtered or bottled water. The food I was previously feeding him was salmon based (buffalo blue wilderness) and he had bad tear stains plus was licking his paws.

After I made those changes, one month later I saw huge improvements. Keep in mind that it will take a month before you will see changes too.

Good luck!
