Dear cjtjjt,
I have a French Biulldog who has had a problem with scabbed bumps that caused him to lose the hair around these bumps. Our vet and a skin specialist that we consulted of course said it was an allergy. He was put onto a single protein diet of White fish and sweet potatoes. We use the Wellness dry food and mix Natural Balance canned food, which is also White Fish and sweet potato, in with the dry food. Also when we bath him we use VET Solutions Aloe & Oatmeal Shampoo and also the Conditioner. He only has Medi-Cal treats and has not had any episodes for the last two years. You can only purchase the treats from your Vet. Hope this helps you.
