Yep, another question!

I am a new Bulldog owner, we have two. Sherlock Holmes, and Dr. Watson. Here is my problem...... Holmes seems to be doing awesome! Watson, he is awesome too, but my problem is Watson always seems itchy! When I brush them out he seems to shed more. When I give big rubs he is like a shedding mofo! Holmes doesn't do this. I think it is allergies, but I am not sure to what. My first conclusion is the food. We are feeding them botj the same thing Blue Buffalo Lamb for puppies. I have been thinking of changing food especially since some of the reports that I have read. Any advise, I don't want my boy to be itchy all the time!

Lamb can cause allergies I some dogs...

I would try a grain free fish based food and see if that helps. Blue has had some problems laty. We use earthborn holistic coastal. Fromm is also good. Give it up to six weeks to see if it helps.

Dr. Watson

Thank-you for your response Kathy. We have changed to Earthborn, and we are giving them the weight management. We don't want them too heavy. Plenty of protien. We checked. I gave him a shower, LOL! Meaning I was in the shower and put him in with me and scrubbed him with an oatmeal type puppy shampoo, and then an oatmeal based conditioner. He shedded so bad it clogged our drain. Have not noticed the large amount of hair shedding off of him since then. Now the problem is he is trying to get in the shower with me!! LOL! I love my baby!
