What to feed my underweight puppy with allergies and beard odor?

Question

What do you do for a Newfoundland mix puppy who is 20 pounds under weight, his vet wants him to be 80 something at his age but he is 61 pounds! I wanna feed him Royal Canin Giant Breed Puppy Food. (he’s more Newfoundland) plus it seems like Bear is having food allergies to chicken cause of itching and biting and scratching and was having more stools and or loose stools. Also his beard smells like mildew from him drinking water all the time ! Is it fungal? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 6 months and 22 days old | 115 lbs

Thanks for using a Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is not possible to know this without an examination and cytologic examination. I highly recommend you consider having him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. It may be best to switch him to a diet of a different protein and carbohydrate such as duck and potato for example in case he is having allergies to his current diet. Good luck and have a great day!
