I really don't mean to open up a can of worms here but I am NOT a fan of Science Diet foods. If you can't get California Natural anywhere in your area, perhaps you can have it shipped directly to your house. The manufacturer will do that. Another suggestion is to research other foods that may be on that same line. It will take some research but it will be worth it in the long line. The net has many sites for comparing quality of foods.
My friends german shorthair, Lady, has some unexplained skin problems also. The vets don't know what it is. She has these scab type bumps all over her sides...and when you pull them off, the fur comes right off with them. They don't seem to itch her much, but I wish we knew what to do about them. The vet says it's possibly food allergies...well, first she was one Ol' Roy puppy(before it happened) then Nutro lg breed puppy, then Nutro lamb and rice puppy, and now she's on Science Diet Sensitive Skin..vets recommendation. It hasn't seemed to help her at all either, she's working on her second 20 lb bag of it right now. I don't think California Natural is available around here either. And well, somehow I don't think my friend would play to have it shipped either.
