Hi Sandy,
Simba has dry, flaky skin on his lower back. I took him to the vet and she recommended to feed him Omega 3 fatty acid. I therefore bought Grizzlys Salmon oil at Bella & Daisys last week and I am watching to see if it gets better. Lucy actually mentioned that Poki had dry skin too and when she cut down on treats it got better. I therefore, at least for right now, have cut out all the treats, such as Pupperoni, etc., but still give the flossies.
Max, on the other hand, has been itching alot too and Jeannie believes it hads either 1) to do with the flee medication Advantix or 2) Max is having food allergies. She also cut out all treats and now feeds cooked baby carrots instead. Max's skin also has red blotches.
As for Royal Canin, both Max's and Simba's stool were never firm while on that diet. We now feed both Natural Balance and their stool has been hard.
