Which dog food is recommended for good stool, skin, and coat?

I recommend the brand Royal Canin because it is high-quality and easy to absorb. Dogs who eat this diet typically produce good quality stool and low quantity stool which means that the diet does not have a lot of filler. Dogs who eat this diet also tend to have great skin and coat health. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Dog food for sensitive skin: Royal Canin too expensive? Grain-free?

The various sensitive skin formulas on Royal Canin's website all are listed to include grains. Royal Canin diets have not been known to correlate with the development of DCM in dogs, so I would not worry about this too much. If this diet is too expensive, consider discussing alternative options with your vet. A novel protein diet may be a reasonable option but it is hard to recommend a diet without knowing what the cause of your dog's allergies are. I recommend trying to buy larger bags as they are more cost-effective and consider price hunting on various websites.

A skin sensitive diet such as royal canin skin support or a hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic would be worthwhile, a 6-8 week trial would be recommended to assess the response from any new diet

My dog's coat isn't healthy. What natural diet can improve it?

Coat length is determined by genetics so you can't change that. At home you can try giving him an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets and changing the food. There are two brands of food, Royal Canin and Nutro, which are aimed at skin and coat health. Supplements and diet may help to promote a healthy coat. Additionally, conditions such as skin infections, parasites, allergies and endocrine disease will all cause poor hair coats so it's important to make sure Bollubhai is healthy. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

What's the best dog food for my dog's chronic dry and itchy skin?

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! The diet I prefer for this is the one made by Science Diet called sensitive skin and stomach diet. However, what I have found the most helpful in reestablishing a nice shiny coat is using fish oil daily. You can get the commercial ones sold online or at your local pet store. This works great. Good luck and have a great day!
