Bumps

We have a 3yr old soft coated - she recently started having bumps form and scratching them so they bleed. What is the best shampoo & we have her on a grain free food- Wellness Simple is that the best food for her?

Just check first that she doesn't have lice or flees. Monty had lice once but you could barely see them, looked like little seeds that didn't move.

He also got a rash wound his belly another time and I think it was from heat and stress. At the time we were doing Super Dogs and he was lying on carpet a lot, he was hot and stressed. I kept the area trimmed down and just cleaned with water. It took a long time to clear up.

I would look for an hypoallergenic shampoo with oatmeal.

If it is food related I don't have any experience with this but I know other board members have and you can also do a search in the boards.

I do give vegetable and fruit for treats and give healthy human food such as left over stir fry vegetables, potato, rice, yogurt as I think a wide variety of foods as well as kibble is more balanced. But you might want to find out first if there is a specific food that is causing the bumps.
