skin problems with boxer, thinking about changing his food?
lizgas asked:
Our dog is almost 9 months we noticed he had some bumps on his head because they look white, its not bald up there (yet) so we took him to the vet and i asked if he had mange mites or something of that sort and she said no she said he had some other kind of allergic reaction. i have been thinking about giving him canidae and i have read some reviews how it helps the skin and the eyes when dogs have problems. so i asked the vet if she would suggest changing his food (we give him science diet) she said that we were giving him good food and she wouldnt suggest canidae for they havent really done studies on the food. i have been reading about science diet and see that their main ingredient is corn and all this other stuff that doesnt seem so healthy. I want to feed my dog something that will provide more nutrients and is better for him. Anyones opinion? suggestions? should i just keep giving him science diet? she said to buy him science diet for sensitive skin. oh yeah they gave him
a shot and some medicine that we are giving him orally every morning. i just hope it works. I hate to see him scratch so much. I dont know where he could have gottan that from We bathe him, use flea and thick medicine, brush his teeth, clean his ears 2 times a week. Y??????

Is Raw Diet for dogs with skin problems good?
Mike D asked:
I have a 5 yr old Boxer who has skin problems (hot spots, bumps, rashes, etc) I currently feed him Calf. Natural dry food and was thinking of switching to a raw food diet. I know it’s more money, but will it help with his skin probs? I have been to a pet allergist already and they seem to think it’s an allergy to chicken, but who knows. Could not give a def. answer for $450! Thanks
