My animals took a while to calm down from the move....plenty of exercise helps with that.
It would be very simple to try a new diet for your pet. You're paying a for high quality food, but if that is everything that goes in your dog's mouth, why not try something different? If there is something she needs and isn't getting, it might be showing up after a long time of eating the same thing.
I cook for my dog and add veggies and grains, etc. Her coat is usually luxurious and sleek, which I attribute to allowing her a bit more oils in the diet than in dry food. (I occasionally add some mayo, fish or veggie oil..which lubricates the digestive tract.
Check your pup's poop. If it is a bit hard and dry, adding some oil to the food might be a good fix. (as it is for humans with slow digestion...) and puppy will have a happy face.
