Question by Yvonne K: What kind of dog food is the best for my dog ?
I currently use Authority and recently I have noticed a lot of hair loss.. I asked the doctor about it on the visit and he said it could be the heat ( we live in Florida) or it could be the food.. I know that Authority is like mid- grade- My dog is about 8 months- I have some fears of switching his food. So should I try something else? What should I try? And will he be ok with the switch or should I wing him off the other food ?

We switched our puppies to Avoderm after doing some research. We were told that the switch could be sudden, but we did a cross taper adding a little of the new food to the old and then increasing the new and decreasing the old over about 10 days. They did really well with the switch and it wasn’t scary at all. One pup had been having some skin trouble and the other had not been having completely solid stools. Now, those issues are resolved. Avoderm is cheaper than the other food and we read reports of it being good for dogs with allergies. Our vet has been telling us how healthy our pups are and how beautiful their coats are, so something is working.
As your vet said, though, this could be due to warmer weather.
