What food do you feed your small dogs and why!
I have fostered over 250 dachshunds in the past 8 years. Many have had food allergies and/or skin allergies. I have found that any high quality whitefish and sweet potato or duck and potato foods are best. I usually use Avoderm or Blue Buffalo. One dog came to me looking like a plucked chicken and the owner was giving him allergy shots for 5 years. I switched his dog food and his coat grew back immediately and he stopped scratching. Another dog came to me with mange so bad her skin looked like an elephant's (the breeder had been spraying insecticide on her). After three months of Avoderm food and Avoderm Booster she turned out to be a beautiful brindle. So I have had much luck with the non-beef and chicken dry dog foods.
