When I got my Jack- Zoe I did some reading and these are my suggestions. Minimise carbs, and keep them away from beef( as little as possible if any). One of the best proteins for them is lamb or fish, the fat from this type of protein really helps their skin and coat to be healthy. Keep in mind "What would they have eaten in the wild?" they wouldnt take on a cow? would they! Sometimes we need to keep it simple, and there are food that are natural-mininal preservative/carbs fillers. Once they become allergy free the hair loss doesnt go away totally totally jacks molt all year round it just the quanity that varies!!Sorry to say
