Hello all,

I have a 2 1/2 year old dog who has some allergic reactions to different kinds of feeds. Besides the hair loss on his ears when the weather is getting better, he seems to have a very sensitive coat. Especially the top of his paws and his lower chest area. Just a lot of pink hair, and reddish paws. It doesn't seem to bother him too much except for some extensive licking every now and than.
I have a brother of him at the house now, he doesn't have any skin problems and is on the same diet. Also his mum.
I was thinking more of a treatment like the lime sulphur dip Jack mentioned in the pbb, cause I didn't tought it could be the feed, but i cant seem to buy the product here.

Now in another topic Jack touched on the matter it could very well be an immune dysfunction. Now I start wondering if the problem can be solved with a change in his feed. I feed my dogs raw, and I have always had good results with the brand of raw I have the dogs on now. This is the ingredients listed on the website of the food :

Contains:

Fresh beef, fresh chicken, fresh minced vegetables, rice, cold-pressed sunflower and linseed oil, vitamins and minerals.

And this is listed on the site also :

Protein 13%
Moisture 61%
Fat 14%
Calcium 0.48%
Axis 3%
Phosphorus 0.43%
Fiber 1%

The feed is packed in wraps that weigh a kilogram a piece. The dogs do well on half a kilo a day weight wise.

The food alone improved a great deal from the food I was using prior to this, and that was like 5 months ago. The last month I started adding two types of oils to the feed, I switch them every few days. The oils I add are the Salmon oil, and Flax seed oil. Since my boy is already showing allergic reactions to some feeds I was almost certain it would have to be the wheat's, rice, grains etc. So no wheat germ oil.

I don't give any other supplements to the dogs here, like extra vitamins, and I'm trying the best I can to provide a good feed. If it would help I'd get them tomorrow. But honestly I'm at a loss here as to what to do ? Any ideas here are very welcome.
