^hi sis! uy thanks ha, I'm glad to know na nakakatulong ako
i'm just sharing what I learned from researching and outputs ng fellow pet owners.
about your dog, ang alam ko medyo sensitive din ang skin ng grs, I know some gr owners na laging problema ang hotspot sa mga dogs nila. so lagi silang may first aid na mouthwash--it can be used as antibacterial spray kasi sa mga wounds. at maingat din sila sa food na binibigay. pero yung sa inyo baka juvenile mange since bata pa sya or allergy sa food or sa environment. meron kaming mga pups na ganyan 3mos biglang ginalis pero gumaling din agad. yung eb ko naman biglang namula yung leeg nung nagtry ng eukanuba so stop ko agad. Always keep a record ng activities, diet, basta kahit anong changes para mabilis mapinpoint ang cause. About his fur, di kaya puppy hair pa kaya medyo rough? yung doggie's choice anti-mange matapang sya, actually drying sa coat yung mga medicated soaps. natry na din namin yan nakakadry nga sya. baka isa rin yan sa cause?
Re dogfood, I don't give dogfood anymore, sa totoo lang kaya kami nagdogfood is because I'm trying to find out san sila allergic. Kahit nung pups kasi sila either homecooked or raw kami, pero pag nagkaron ng problem nagtytry ako ng dogfood for a change pero madalas may meat pa rin. medyo choosy ako sa dogfood, I would only recommend, Acana, Orijen, GO!, Eagle Pro, Canidae, natry ko sila, okay naman effect but I would always choose fresh food over premium brands.
Yung milk, i won't advice na kasi most dogs are lactose intolerant, the closest to their dam's milk is goat's milk, yung iba naman milk replacer meron din yung cosi milk for dogs talaga yun. pero once pwede na sa solid food you can omit milk na, maginvest na lang sa quality diet. Remember that dogs are carnivores, so meat and organs talaga ang kailangan nila. you can give rice, veggies and fruits pero minimal lang, very little to zero kasi ang needs nila for plant matters at hirap kasi sila to process it properly so hinay sa plant matters and magfocus sa pagbigay ng meat.
About the fur, malaking tulong ang diet nila sa condition ng coat and skin. sa lahat ng diet na natry ko, sa raw sila pinakamaganda. Shiny, makapal at matingkad ang fur nila. Hindi rin sila mabilis bumaho, no bad breaths, once a day poop, at maganda yung built nila nafoform ang muscles. Pag proper diet kasi you won't need expensive supplements or hair products, natural na maganda yung dog mo. That's why I always tell pet owners na maginvest sa food and choose their diet carefully. Oo mas mahal maggrocery for their food pero it's all worth it, kasi magiging healthy talaga sila, hindi kayo madalas sa vet and people would notice it. Pero ang magandang supplement for coat is fish oil, I use the ATC brand, local lang yun meron sa groceries and leading drugstores.
