Sorry I know I only have one yorkie, but I can't seem to find a great board like this one for our Bull Terrier. lol I decided to put both dogs on the same food so I only have to buy one large bag instead of two different types, and because I don't know how I will keep them each away from each others food. So we are on the Blue Buffalo food, which I love and has been the only food Stormy has been eating for a long period of time. I don't think this food is working for our bullie, she is pretty gassy and it REALLY smells bad lol. She is also pooping alot, I would assume alot sometimes 3 or 4 a day, they are firm poops. And she is itchy as heck! Stormy does itch some what but maybe I don't notice as much, she itches her paws a bit and her back side near her tail. This is the same spot the bullie is itching, on her back towards the tail. She will lay on her back and cry out because she has got an itch! I was thinking of picking up a new bag of food for them both this week so we can switch them over slowly.
Our bullie came to us on DIAMOND puppy food!! I was ticked off, they didn't send any with her so she had the runs for a few days and lots and lots of gas. We have had her for almost a month now and I hate to switch her again but maybe they are itchy from the food? Stormy doesn't get gas and poops about twice a day, firm ones. I was thinking of maybe giving Wellness another try for both of them. I bought the big bag of blue for $40 and it last me almost a month. I'd really like to have them on the same food, quality wise. My hubby isn't so into "food" and health as me when it comes to our pets so he could care less, the bullie is HIS dog but I want her to be healthy as well.

Now could this itch be from something else as well? I have been washing Stormy in baby shampoo since I got her and my hubby gave the bullie a bath in it as well so could it be that shampoo that is STILL itching them? Sorry this is so long. I am going to be ordering some Minksheen for Stormy but no clue what kind of shampoo would be good for the bullie.
