| It's going to be a process of elimination for you to figure out what he is allergic to. I had to do the same for Charlie. You may want to look into a grain-free food and one without chicken if you think that is the problem. I have Charlie on Nature's Variety Instinct, they have a Duck & Turkey meal with no grains or chicken listed under the ingredients. Charlie loves Instinct dry and wet mixed, licks his bowl clean everytime and allergies are better. I started him on the Chicken just because he was use to it, but as soon as that bag is gone, I will put him on the Duck & Turkey, he also gets the RAW medallions. Otherwise you could look into Wellness Core (Fish) or even better Merricks Before Grains line, that way you wouldn't have to transition him to another brand. |

| Just looked on Merricks website, the Salmon Before Grain and Buffalo Before Grain both have Chicken meal and other chicken ingredients, so that probably won't help if you are concerned about the Chicken. Wellness Core Oceanfish doesn't have chicken and like I said Nature's Variey doesn't either. Hope this helps. |

Are you seeing stool issues in a young pup? If so, you really do need to get a fecal test and possibly some blood tests. If he is an older puppy who is nearing adulthood, then you may be seeing some food sensitivities. What are the symptoms?
