Is Tootsie sensitive/allergic to any particular foods - specific proteins or grains perhaps?
The NB Ultra contains barley (whereas the EP Holistic does not), and some dogs react to barley.
The Ultra also contains Brewers Yeast (the EP does not) - again, some dogs react to this.
Also, if you compare the ingredients listing for both foods, the Ultra looks like it has a higher proportion of grains; that in itself could contribute to coat issues with some dogs. Or otherwise it's the amounts and proportions of Omega 6 & 3 ... the EP Anchovy/Sardine looks like it would be quite high on Omega 3.
Have you considered giving Tootsie a daily capsule of fish oil while feeding the Ultra?
