MemberJust over two years ago, I rescued a Chihuahua. At the time, she had been eating Purina
something or other (the one with the freeze-dried chicken in it.) She seemed to tolerate it OK, but I still weaned her to something better without problems. After about
a year and a half when she started shedding profusely, we started looking for something that didn’t cause her to shed. We went through BB, NB, and several others that I can’t remember. All the better quality foods seemed to have a high caloric content. In my quest to find a food that didn’t make her shed, I caused her to gain about six pounds. We are now on a grain free food and she has lost about two pounds. But, I can tell that she’s hungry all the time. I hate this. I feel like the wicked witch of the canine world, and Poppy is just hungry. BTW, we are now on 1/2 Wellness Core grain free weight management(wet) , and 1/2 Nutrish Grain Free (dry) (on the list.)
Sometimes she has tears coming from her eyes, and a clear nasal discharge which I think is due to the weeds in the back yard.
Any ideas or suggestions?
ThanksAnonymous
MemberSome dogs shed a lot, you could try a daily fish oil supplement…in case the shedding is related to dry skin.
She may have environmental allergies, if so, and it is causing her discomfort for 4 seasons, I would consider getting her tested. http://www.allergydogcentral.com/2011/06/30/dog-allergy-testing-and-allergy-shots/#comment-1283
Have you considered a home made diet? You could still use kibble as a base
http://www.homeovet.net/dynamic/php/downloads/dog-c8470f2c75dbe4b683205c3919ee2310/dog_diet_complete.pdfIs she getting enough exercise? A 20 minute brisk walk 2 or 3 times a day will aid with weight loss.
