Nancy. I have a large German Shepherd rescued 7 years ago that has always been plagued with skin problems…no matter what I have done in the past. A couple of things help. I do rotate her diet…and she does not have to be transitioned~her stomach does fine. She does best on premium rabbit, but I have to shake it up a bit with premium brands and ingredients. The single best thing I have done is coconut oil, and providone iodine rinses and soaks. Dr Karen Becker has a couple of videos on this, so if the link does not go through…Google her. My Shepherd does not shed that much anymore since I have used coconut oil, and the provodone solution has stopped hot spots and itchiness. Good luck. Nothing zaps you more than having your furbaby sick, right? All her stuff is great to watch!
