Hi what breed is she? 

In order to give the best advice can you say why she needs a change:  has something happened to her health or has she been diagnosed with something?

Hi  , however we did post note sometime ago has she seemed to have  trouble putting weight on ! so we took her to vets nothing & she regularly wormed upto date with vac's, she was on JW, so we move her upto RC on the advice of shop assistant for her weight but not been going to well , she has peanut allergy !!!  she Am/bulldog x Sbt she very lively & energetic & in good health, we have notice but not 100% sure but when she has certain dog treats they give her very bad diarrhoe, so we have stop givin her these  treats , so we are looking to feed her on senstive dry complete. ps i will give her abit of time and try her on senstive food then if no change i will take her back to vets . hope this help

If you don't want to feed totally dry, I would recommend tinned Chappie.  My Border Collie was loose on everything as a youngster.  Once I found a sensitive to suit, I felt that it was a bit boring for him.  The tinned Chappie is very good for delicate digestive systems. 

Gosh - how on earth did you discover a peanut allergy!?!

I don't think that many dog foods would contain peanut oil (I might be wrong) so I'm not sure what benefits she'd get from a 'sensitive' food, particularly as these are usually designed to avoid a particular protein source, grain or gluten.  They are no more likely to help her gain weight than her current food.

You may want to consider that her age is a factor and that she might just stay on the trim side for a while - not necessarily a bad thing by the way.  Has she had a season yet?

You are probably right to avoid some treats if they cause problems.  What have you been giving her?  Avoid anything with lots of colour and check for sugar content.  We once gave a young dog something from a canine christmas cracker...    NEVER again :(

There are plenty of ethically produced, organic, hypoallegenic, brown paper packaged 'healthy' treats so you needn't find it too difficult to change over.  James Wellbeloved CrackerJacks are hypoallergenic dog treats which mine like, Arden Grange has them too, and Fish4Dogs do great fish skin treats which my dogs adore.  I also came back from Crufts this year with lots of 'free' bags of new stuff to try - my cupboards are now stocked for months so we'll see which they like the best :)

We have a cocker bitch with a grain intolerance. For her dry food we have had success with Orijen.

Trophy pet foods do a range of ethical dog foods as well as a holistic food and a grain free one as well, free home delivery too.If you tried all the other more commercial brands have a look at their web site im sure they will have a food to that will help  , We used to use JWB but stopped when we found out they were taken over by the Mars Group (Pedigree, Etc) We looked around for a British made and British meat based food. Found Trophy through the good shopping guide and must say the food and service has been excellent.

I have a feeling in the back of my mind that dogs are not supposed to eat nuts of any kind anyway.  (I stand corrected if I'm remembering incorrectly.)

We had to change our dog due to allergy to grain as he had itchy skin and loose stools and we changed to Symply and Fish4dogs and the transformation was amazing. You can order them online if you google them, 2 friends have had similar issues and have done the same with the same results too. I hope you manage to sort your young man out!

Peanut butter is often recommended as a kong filler.
