are you feeding the chicken formula??? it might be the chicken if you are... a lot of dogs are allergic to it... we are feeding the lamb and rice right now.. and when we switch to adult i'll be feeding her the fish.. layla's skin is also VERY dry.. but there doesn't seem to be anything in the food that is causing it... and even now that she is on a special diet from the vet.. still flaky.. i think she is just sensitive
