My dog's fur is missing some patches and he's fine on his head, shoulders, front legs and the bottom of his tail...in fact it's soft thick and fluffy...but his rear and back legs look like that and it's course and thin.He's a six month old Blue…

      My dog's fur is missing some patches and he's fine on his head, shoulders, front legs and the bottom of his tail...in fact it's soft thick and fluffy...but his rear and back legs look like that and it's course and thin.He's a six month old Blue Heeler/Labrador Retriever/ Great Pyrenees Mix...He is 55lbs...26" tall from the shoulder...We got him about a couple weeks ago and changed his diet from Cheap Adult Dog food to Blue Buffalo Puppy food. He also has Milkbone Puppy treats and raw fruits and veggies like cherry tomatoes and cantaloupe. It is more playful and healthier looking but I want to make sure nothing is wrong with his fur. Thanks for any suggestions.Him http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/282320_4187983345753_715055997_n.jpgHis fur patchhttp://thumbp10-gq1.thumb.mail.yahoo.com/tn?sid=2892567693&mid=ADDHtEQAAXv%2BT%2BeGTwX3B1WHTT0&midoffset=2_0_0_1_4010756&partid=2&f=458&fid=Inbox&w=637&h=480&httperr=1He's so cute...I have proof!!!http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/269272_4216980870673_202061498_n.jpgHis fur was worse before blue buffalo and it got better with in a few days but those certain areas aren't getting better as fast.

    • my dog had the same problem when i switched to Blue. hes a Pit and he was almost bald on the tip of his nose. i then switched back to Beneful and it grew back so maybe some dogs are allergic to it. or maybe you switched to quickly. maybe call the vet for advice

    • your dog may have Allergic reactions....my dog did the same thing....along with dry food, I started giving her Canned Food as well and also the vet gave her 1 shot of Cortizone to relieve itching....bottom line is change up the dogs food.
