Dog food for allergies ?
I need a little help. My 4 yr old yellow lab eats Canidae all stages. I have noticed that she seems to have major itchy eyes and that it appears she has allergies (I have not had her tested, but would like to see if it is the food possiblY). I know that Canidae has changed their formula and I believe that this might be contributing to her issues. I have had to switch her food in the past.. This is what I have tried. I am looking for new suggestion and feedback on different foods that may have worked on your pet with allergies..
I have tried the following:
Nature’s Variety – Lamb & Oatmeal (This made my pooch itch worse)
Solid Gold TimberWolf – Buffalo & Salmon formula (Not to much of an improvement)
California Natural – Lamb & Rice (She absouletly will not eat this)
Any other suggestions would be most helpful!
Talk to your vet about a food trial. You feed them something they’ve never had before and see if the allergy symptoms clear up.
I have a yellow lab with severe allergies. We changed her food to venison and potato and they almost completely went away. She was on that diet for almost 3 years. We noticed she was getting itchy again and now we are feeding her kangaroo and oats. It’s working brilliantly.
No wheat, no corn, no beef… nothing she used to eat… just her kibble. Your vet will know what I’m talking about with the food trial.
If she does have food allergies, you will not help her by giving her baths or adding stuff to her food. You have to restrict the diet to something that she hasn’t had before and see how she does. If she improves, you know this food works, if she stays itchy etc, you try another food.
Some dogs have inhalent allergies too – just like people. My Sophie does as well. During certain times of the year, she has issues… but 90% of the time, the food controls her allergies.
Good luck!
