Losing his hair
by Ali's Bitch Wed Mar 14 2012, 10:47
Hi, I'm trying Ali on third lot of food since I got him. I have had him on the hogh end dried food , The last one select gold had his coat shedding an awful lot to the point I can see pink skin in patches of his coat. I hope these pics are decent, can anyone tell me if this seems nutrionally sound for him?? Thanks in advance

From what I have learnt, and in my opinion if you don't raw feed, then feed hyopoallergenic food.
Staffys are prone to allergies/ skin issues/sensitive tummys etc
So again in my opinion, if u can get him on a hypoallergenic food then you can probably rule out food causing his probs.
I feed mine on Wainwrights complete, but u can also try Fish4dogs and many others.
Failing that, he may need a trip to the vets for some tests, good luck with it.

I would recommend Fish4Dogs! I had Bailey on Royal Canin and James Wellbeloved before trying him on Fish4Dogs and he loves it!

Thanks guys, il go on the hunt for fish4dogs tomorrow?? Can the vet find out what he's allergic to or is it just a case of ruling stuff out?
