Tigger was picky when we first got him, the breeder was feeding him Iams puppy, and since I'm a dog food label reader and skeptic, I changed him over to Nutro Ultra puppy. He didn't like that, so I took that back. Then I gave him Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice Puppy, and he would eat it, but not as much as I would have liked Plus I don't know if it's a food allergy or what but he has/had dry skin. So I took that back and put him on Royal Canin Puppy 33. He loves it, he eats twice as much in one day then he did before. WOW!!!

also for wet food, He gets Nutro Max puppy or he'll get Nutro puppy Lamb and rice. I'm unsure whether I'm going to continue with the wet Lamb and rice puppy food, until I find out whats causing the dry skin.
I switched his shampoo to a diffrent brand, and am using oatmeal and baking soda conditioner, and am no longer giving him treats with a lot of sugar in it. so hopefully something helps soon. Plus I switched foods.

His breeder was also feeding him Lil Ceasers but I put an end to that because of all the by-products. Tigger gets food with mostly all natural ingrediants.

but yeah he had the same problem.
