Hi Lottie as the other members have stated from the information you have given it is most likely to be food related (I was reading some information recently about complete food and the conditions it can cause, I must look it up again and post it).

If you can't manage raw have you looked at details Borderdawn posted about a new food? It is quite expensive but looks great..

Failing that I would try a food with a minimum of additives maybe one of the fish and potato based ones, a number of companies produce one among them Fish4dogs and Wafcol.

I contacted skinners when kismet also couldn't settle to jwb like you I travel and don't have the space for raw. Skinners sent me loads of samples. In the end we settled on salmon and rice field and trial. It's a superb food. I did find quickly that I didn't need to feed as much as the recomended amount on the sack. The dogs are really happy and healthy on it and for once are all eating the same thing! Highly recommend

If she is on the puppy, move her onto the junior, or even the adult. Puppy food is often too rich. My Slovak didn't tolerate the JWB puppy but did just fine on the junior and the adult versions.

Thanks all! We picked up another bag of food before I saw all the replies! We picked up a smaller bag of proplan for us to try (she was fine on this when the breeder fed it her so we thought it should be a safe bet).

However the info is invaluable - thanks
