Answer
Hello Melodie and thank you for your question, Maybe your dog has allergies and this is why its on this food? call and check with the previus owner, they may not ahve said anything in order to get rid of the dog. Allergies can cause people to put there dog on a vegiterian diet or potatoe and fish meal diets, allergies cause itchy areas, offen yeast in the ears, eye infections and redness of skin in almost any area on the body. Take her to a vet right away for a check on the red tummy bumps it could be allergies kicking in and pills or cream may be required. Both my older dogs(aged 2 and 1) have allergies both purebred both healthy and happy but allergies attack them every spring and the younger one ussally twice a year they get itchy, red, offen yeast in there ears(needs treatment from a vet) the older one gets eye infections and acne on her chin. I have allergies myself and know just how horrible it is to be itchy and tossing turning all night trying to sleep, please take her in to a quuailified vet right away... tomarrow if possible. THe food I hate sinece diet personaly. Iams and Eukanuba aare one and the same the iams lable hidden tiny printed in the back of every Eukanuba product is there. www.iamscruelty.com

That is a link why I hate iams so much. Sience diet I don't like because the vets reccomend something supposed to be top quaility but all there meat viarites have by products in them. Iams has by products as well.rina one is a cheaper brand but o.k quaility not the best however.  Check with teh vet first to see if she has allergies first as you would only waist money on food she can't have without reactions.

Good luck with your new best friend.
