Question
hi we are now living in cyprus and we have just noticed our salt and pepper min schnauzer is getting blond patches of fur on her back she is four we recently changed her food from iams to life science, should we be worried do you think?

Answer
Hi Gill-

Schnauzers tend to have slight color changes as they grow, and the change in the climate is most likely a bit responsible as well. I would not think that it is due to diet. However, without seeing the dog I would not be able to really diagnose, so I would suggest if you are concerned to take him to the vet. Thanks!
