Hi!

I just have a few questions I'm hoping some people could help me with.

Number one, Beau has been itching his arm, not his paw, but his forearm. I don't know what's going on but I really feel bad for him. Could it be allergies? Is there a test that the vet can do to tell if he has food allergies or should I just assume he does and switch his food?

Secondly, I was wondering if anybody has their yorkie on a "senior" diet? When did you start feeding senior food? Beau is seven on Oct. 14 and I want to make sure he is getting everything out of his food that he can to keep him healthy.

Thirdly, does anybody have their dog on vitamins or anything like that? Beau is very active so I want to keep his joints and coat healthy. Do you give them any human vitamins (like fish oils, etc.) or do you buy commercial doggy ones?

Any suggestions will REALLY help me out! Thanks!
