What kind of diet is your dog eating--home-cooked, or raw, or commercial dog food?? What ways of feeding (the above mentioned ways) would you be
'up for'!? Can't remember if you mentioned how old this dog is?

You should feed a very high quality, complete and balanced dog food. MEAT should be the first item listed, not corn. You may also supplement with a vitamin/mineral product.
