[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 351636, member: 1963"] Shepherds have extremely sensitive skin (they are fragile dogs overall when it comes to health) We were fighting constant hotspots and infections from chewing at himself. The problem only started when I took him off of raw food. I did the steroids and special shampoos and stuff and of course, the repeated courses of antibiotics. I got fed up with what I was spending at the vet's each month for something that at best would clear up for a short time. I sucked it up and put him back on raw food. I feed a lamb based prepared raw diet. Not only has he not had a single bad spot since, but his coat is gorgeous, he's gained good weight and he's much nicer to be around. Makes sense; how nice would you want to be if your tummy hurt all the time. The only downside to the raw diet is storage as it has to be kept frozen, and the fact that it costs a bloody fortune. For me it worked out because I was spending nearly as much at the vet's on a monthly basis. [/QUOTE]
