Maybe the quality food its low, Dogs need a balance : he best ratios for a healthy dog's diet are about 50% meat, 50% vegetables, grain-free, wheat-free, and no cheap fillers.

Think twice before making your dog go vegetarian. Dogs need protein. Would a dog naturally be vegetarian? No. Most veterinarians and practitioners agree that although a dog can survive on a vegetarian diet, they may not thrive on it.
