Maybe try some of the home cooked meals Scott and the others make? I've been really impressed with how other's chi's look after being put on raw or home cooked meals. I haven't made the change but I do use Natural Balance products with limited ingredients. Frida loves the soft food warmed up some. They also have food rolls or treat rolls that smell great when warmed up. Sounds like you really saved his bacon. Send pictures, sounds like a sweetie pie.
