Hi, Some weeks ago my bulldog started losing a lot of hair and every day is worse :( I changed her shampoo, shower once a week, brush her hair every day, and it does not end :(, she has five and a half months and your food is acana duck and pear, another thing, your hair is greasy, Is it possible that it is your food? HELPPP PLEASE.

Yes, it could be the food, but washing once week is also not good for the coat. What season is it in Chili? They do blow their coat twice a year... late spring and late fall

What a beautiful dog ! I wouldn't wash her very often unless she has skin sores. Bulldogs do shed twice a year. Acana duck and pear is very good, but maybe she has become allergic to duck. You can try another food from the Acana singles dog food lineup such as lamb and apple, pork and squash, or wild mackerel. Or try ground up commercial frozen raw if that's available in Chile.

Your dogs are beautiful too :D, I do not have many options in Chile :(.

* Acana Duck & Pear
* Acana Mackerel & greens
* Acana Regionals Wild Atlantic
* Acana Heritage Free Run Poultry
* Acana Heritage Freshwater Fish
* Acana Regionals Meadowlands Dog
* Taste of the wild Pacific Stream
* Taste of The Wild Pacific Stream Puppy
* Taste of The Wild Wetlands Dry
* Orijen Orijen Six Fish Dog
* ORijen Orijen Original Dog

Those are basically the premiun foods in chile, There are also the most traditional brands, Eukanuba, Royal Canin, Hills, Diamond, Bill Jac, brit, Instinc etc.

Hola from Castor!
I agree that dogs should not shower that often. Generally, a dog only needs to shower if she's terribly dirty or if she has some kind of medical issues - and then you might need a special shampoo for that issue.

Castor eats Acana lamb and apple. Fish oil or some fish might be good for the coat, perhaps?

Stay away from those 'traditional' brands... not good stuff. Continue with one of the Acana formulas

Bathe only when really dirty... i only do twice a year unless they get into something .

Thanks for your advice :) I will follow them, which formula acana would be the best?, considering that my little rose is only 5/2 months old, Sorry to ask so much, it's my first dog, and I care a lot for it.

Go with the one Dollys Owner suggested... get her fur and skin settled and then switch back to the duck/pear

Hello again, I went to the vet with my little rose, and he got him a kind of mushroom, He said it's common in bulldog, he placed a topical cream 2 times a day, for 7 days, it's day 2 and I still do not see improvement, he had to shave where it was located the mushroom, apparently it's because of the humidity, Did something like this happen to you?, I must ask for another opinion? :(

Any chance you have a picture before it was shaved?

I think you mean a fungus(mushroom) or a hotspot. If the cream is going to work, it will take longer than day 2. Let us know in a couple more days,please. [MENTION=17853]LGFERRER89[/MENTION]:yes:
