What is known as an allergy is a toxic response by our immune system. Bad food choices like dry, processed foods, dewormers, antibiotics, vaccines. If you want a healthy dog and less vet bills, detox your dog, then build his gut properly and and cook 4 brothers. There’s a reason why most people include. Our pets are in poor health and allergies are the symptoms. Treat the cause.

I made my own. Combination of brown rice, sweet potatoes, cooked vegetables and fruit, organ meats and vegetables, oil for the fat content. Look up how to make your own dog food and do some research. We can’t make corn, white potatoes, white rice and chicken. All Dogs have different sensitivities. Without the cereal that gave us coughs and heart conditions, we stopped it early and were able to reverse it.

We have Frenchies siblings. We breed several types Fromm. I know it’s controversial, but they can’t have whole grains or poultry, meals or protein. We mainly eat fish for protein and I add scrambled eggs a few times a week.

I johnnie reply late to this. But I use Royal Canin Frenchie brand food. I’m lucky I don’t believe my child’s allergies are caused by food – but I certainly think they are due to the environment. I use this brand because it has been highly rated recommended by my vet and because the brand my breeder is using is hard to find – even with Amazon etc.

Our Frenchie has been allergy tested and has been on special vet food (Royal Canin) for many years for all its allergies. But after purging his body and now eating raw from the freezer (beef, venison etc and some vegetables) and MSM all his allergies gone for 4 years, I am so sad because he had to go through those first years and all the problems. I hope your French can also get better.

We do it ourselves. Equal parts ground meat and brown rice, then add spinach or kale, peas and carrots, sometimes a little pumpkin and chicken broth. Allergies, hot spots, and vomiting were gone 10 years ago.

Our first mixed breed dog was severely allergic to Royal Canin, we spoke to a dog food expert and he said they would get sick if you kept the protein on for too long so we I changed to Wild taste and our current French are not allergic to that and we change the protein flavor every few months

Orijen six fish….after two years of trial and error, this was the only one that didn’t make her vomit, have diarrhea, or fill her stomach in the morning, it also helped with skin problems and after about a month of eating it, spots. The black on her belly is gone…. 7 years later and it’s still the best for her and she’s still excited about her meal

Salmon Canidae dried food. It avoids poultry which gives me goosebumps. It also makes her breasts firm enough to… uh… break apart when she comes out. No stains on the couch or baby wipes required after pooping.
