Don't worry too much. Diet is more of a contributing factor, and less of a cause.

Purina is terrible food. I started feeding it to my first dog when I got her, and she would eat, barf up FULL pieces about 30 minutes later. They never digested! And she wouldn't stop chewing on her paws (corn allergies), so she/they got switched quick.

Ya, it's better on some dogs stomachs then others. My dogs eat it (but they also eat just about anything!) but I also add the trader joes organic wet food. And that's better for them!

We put Baxter on Taste of the wild food at 13 months when we got him and learned of his allergies.. It's so awesome!!! The neighbors have a Sobieski with a horrible skin condition and is now on this and it's all clear!! He had been on other grain free but this is the only one that did the trick! It's great it's for all stages as I have a 6 month old border collie/ pit mix and a 2.5 yr old pointer mix. We also have our cats on it (2 yrs -14 yrs) the 2 older cats are like young cats again!!! It's well worth the $$. Less shedding, less feeding and less poop!!! Among everything else...
