Dry dog food and carrots can both cause skin conditions as you describe
so
obviously she isn't doing well on it. Dry dog foods contain grains which
cause skin allergies and carrots contain sugar which can do the same
thing. Both are carbohydrates and not needed in a dog's diet. Raw is by
far the best solution and will totally eliminate the problem.

Really? On our last visit to the vet, she (the vet) said to keep feeding
Mitzi the dried food as she was doing so well on it (Mitzi's fur was
growing
back faster than anyone expected)! I'm confused now... do I follow the
vet's advice and keep feeding Mitzi the dry or swap to wet food and hope
she
likes it and that it is doing more for her than the dry?

If she's doing really well right now, Amanda, I think you should stick
with what you're doing, i.e., listening to your VETERINARIAN. Not some
Usenet evangelist who's concerned with pushing her anti-kibble agenda.
On the other hand, if what you're doing ceases to work (for whatever
reason), that's when it would be a good time to consider a Plan B. But
do it in conjunction with your VETERINARIAN.


She's doing a lot better than we were expecting and the vet is happy with
her so we'll keep on with the dry food unless the vet says otherwise :-)

It really makes no sense to fix what ain't broke.


Too right, Dogman!
