Howllo Fellow Hound and not loving Saga lovers: My goodness gracious. If it’s not one saga, it’s another. About a month ago I decided to take Chaps off of his Canidae Lamb and Rice dog food. I had heard that the new formula was changed and not for the better. I noticed that Chaps’s had runny eyes and something else kind of soft, if you know what I mean. So, I switched to Merrick about a month ago. Now I think he is allergic to the chicken formula I picked. His hair is falling out in small clumps and he has a lot of dander. I do not recall him ever blowing a fall coat this aggressively, if at all. He also has developed an ear infection.

Remember, Emma is severely allergic to chicken. I had no idea if Chaps would be or not because he had always been on a lamb based food. It was pretty stupid of me to try him on chicken, what was I thinking? Emma and Chaps are both of the same BoBac line and it holds to reason that he might be allergic to chicken as well.

I sure hope it is just his food. Changing food is easy. Of course, I am worried. My boy’s coat is looking a bit worse for the wear.

Now for a closer look – notice all of the tuffs sticking out? It is like this on both sides.

So I ran out today and picked him up a bag of Natural Balance Lamb and Rice Allergy Formula. I am going to take the rest of the Merrick to the pound this week. I have a few things for them.

Well, he just ate his new meal and seemed to like it better. Keep your paws crossed. The Mayor doesn’t have many sick days left at the office.

More about every detail of the Mayor later…Cat, Chaps and Emma
