Hi guys, I recently noticed a number of spots/dry patches appearing on my Bailey. They are just on her back... They seem flaky but don't really come off when I scratch them a little. Does anyone know what it could be?
Thanks!

Hmm I am not sure, Peanut had these little bumps but it was because of his food- They changed the formula, he had an allergic reaction to whatever change they did. His belly was also dry.

How old is Bailey? What food do you have her on? Any change in diet or shampoos??

I would honestly take her in to the Vet so he can take a look at her..

p.s I LOVE your nails!! Very cute

Haha thanks!

Bailey is 4 months.. so we haven't even had a chance to switch up her food or shampoos. I'm thinking it's probably nothing, because they don't really bother her .. she doesnt itch them .. Having said that, we JUST started to take her outside (our vet said it was ok). She has had all the proper shots, but I'm worried what if she picked up something while she was outside

other than taking her to a local park, we've also been to a forest and a lake (suburb cottage-like area).

Oh and we have her on Taste of the Wild - Salmon formula.

Thanks so much for your input!
