"I wanted a Westie since I was in Jr High, but my parents would never allow me to have one because they didn't want to get "stuck" with it when I moved out, as they had three dogs of their own at the time. Well, now finally on my own, they bought one for me and little Wyatt's been here for a little over a month.
I started getting worried because his skin started turning really pink! He kept scratching and itching and constantly had the runs. His coat was tinged yellow and it kept getting worse each day. I took him to the vet and she said that he looked very healthy, but that he definately had some type of allergy. I immediately called my aunt, with 4 Westies of her own and she said it's common for Westies to have allergies to chicken products, which the vet had also mentioned. I was at the end of my wits between searching in stores and online for anything that didn't contain any chicken products, but I found other brands use chicken fat or byproducts even in their beef flavored foods. My aunt has her food imported and her dogs eat better and more expensive food than I do, so I couldn't go that route. I went into Petco and instantly the gentleman I explained the situation to took me to Nutro. Not even a hesitation. He guaranteed me that it would help or to bring the bag back and I'd be able to try something else. Wyatt loves it!!!! It's been about a week, his coat is white white white. He doesn't lay around my apartment anymore. He actually has more energy and his skin rash is going away. THANK YOU!!!! I love my pup and hated not being able to help him. But now, I'll never feed him anything else!"
