Thumbs down Help! Changing Luma's food AGAIN.

Luma was being fed by her breeder Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul. She didn't seem to like it very much, so when the bag ran out we tried Taste of the Wild high prarie puppy. Then the Diamond recalls happened, so we tried Fromm Gold Holistic Puppy. I didn't want to admit it, because I really like Fromm as a company, but she didn't do well on it at all. Her belly is always red, she's always itching, and she has lots of scabs from biting at her skin. So now I'm looking at Mr. Chewy's, so I can order Acana, which we don't have locally.

I definitely think her troubles were with the grains in the Fromm food, as CSFTPLS and TOTW were both grain-free. I see Acana has multiple grain-free formulas, but was wondering which is best. Also, she is 7 months old. Can she start eating adult formulas now or should I still stick with puppy food?

One last thing. She has ALWAYS had horrible eye gunk. We give her filtered water. Her eyes have gotten worse with the Fromm though. Any tips on that? I actually have had to get a tear stain product because her eye goop is turning the hairs by her eyes pink-tinted. I think we should try the Gerber water, have read here on YT about it. Her Fromm is almost gone, so I need to order a new food now so I can switch her gradually.

Have any of y'all had success with Acana and it reducing itchy skin? I want to try the coconut oil as well. Poor baby is always scratching.
