Hi Kim - Ok, puppy chow is not so great.... How about you try this food: YOU just add a small amount of freshly cooked meat.
SoJO
This will be great for your dog's skin and coat:  
No treats needed with this good food.

The SoJO foods offer the superior nutrition of naturally-occurring vitamins, minerals and enzymes that you can't get from a cooked, processed pellet. No preservatives. Nothing artificial. Just all-natural, human-quality ingredients.
Some folks add raw meat to this - I like to cook my meats...

As for treats - YOU can buy some Natural Holistic treats at the pet store and break them up very small.

Your pup will continue to have constipation and skin troubles if you stay on such a poor food.
Also, NuVET is a great help:
give your Chi just 1/2 a teaspoon per day : They sell a powder or a wafer..

NUVET will keep your baby healthy and well....


BEST of luck to you ..!!!
