My 4 year old female (retired from breeding) was on Purina Pro Plan Savor Chicken when i got her from the breeder. The breeder explained that she had tried various brands of food and the pro plan savor was the best for all her bullies in terms of coat and such. I decided to try to get her on a better quality of food, so after much research i decided on the Fromms 4 star grain free. I transitioned over 4 weeks to the beef fritata and now 21/2 months later she is getting thinning hair on her back either side of her spine. there is still some hair on the spots but it is thin enough that you can clearly see the areas and the skin beneath. I spoke to the vets office and the vet assistant said it could be from the change in diet and may correct itself, but to keep an eye on it. The breeder i got her from said it was definitely from the food and to get her back on the Pro Plan. I am at a crossroads on what to do, the Fromms is so much healthier and better quality that the Purina but i want what is best for my dog. I have tried the other protein flavors of the Fromms such as Lamb & Lentil, Gamebird and currently Pork & Peas. the only one that seemed to disagree with her was the game bird and that seemed to make her go to the bathroom much more frequently and she seemed to be itchy on it. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I hate to see her with these patches but i want her to be on the best and healthiest food for her.
