QUESTION: Wow Thanks for your advice
  I'm definitely gonna try everything you said and use your referral code for the NUVET wafers.
I have two more question if its not to bothersome?
   Now as for the grain free diet  The Duck and potatoes is a grain free (limited ingredients)allergy formula BUT like I said she doesn't care for it (it also has salmon oil in it)I thought I read where you have recommended that too..
 Are the brands you recommended allergy safe
1.Innova EVO ( fine for dogs over 10 months of age)
2.  WELLNESS CORE - meat or the OCEAN is fine
3.   Merrick Before Grain - all fine
I know shell like the Iams Gravy my moms pit bull loves it
dont know why I didnt think of that before
 Also is there a specific NuVet wafer to ask for?
And what about probiotics?
         Thanks Esther Cordova

The food your dog is eating now smells awful.  Would you want to eat just duck and potato?  
I am just being silly...  I know you don't want to eat that!

The EVO, CORE and Merrick Before grain are excellent choices for your baby.
I have great luck with them....

Salmon oil is great but I would hold off on it for now.

Probiotics are wonderful: How about  1 cup of Activia plain or val flavored yogurt per day for 10 days.  That is a wonderful way to get some Probiotics into your baby.  YOU can offer this every 3 months for 10 days.

As for NuVET - it is the NuVET Plus wafers.....They make a powder or the wafer.
