I changed the food in the hope that it might help my daughter with allergies. When she went to the doctor, she found out that she was allergic to the environment. According to our veterinarian, most allergies are caused by the environment. She takes apoquel daily during the summer. No stomach rashes, no chewing on your feet, no rubbing your face in the carpet or anything really, no ear infections. She eats Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice.

Spencer eats the Supreme Source. It’s grain-free, although he’s not on a grain-free diet. It’s available in some supermarkets, but I only ordered it on Chewy.

We raw food. That way, I know exactly what my pups are getting, plus the roughage will be so much better for them! I add vegetables, pumpkin and food supplements, and while some may disagree with me, I add very small amounts of oatmeal or brown rice. They have been doing great for many years! My vet thinks so too.

My dog is currently having a serious problem and can only eat Hills biodigestive dog food. If she eats anything else, she will stop eating and start having diarrhea with blood in it. The only other thing she can eat is homemade food. Boiled chicken, rice, sweet potatoes and carrots. We did all the blood tests and X-rays and no one could figure out why. I tried two other dog foods but I couldn’t get her to pass it on to try another.

Royal Canin PR Rabbit and Potato. My vet says that rabbits tend to be the source of protein that dogs are least allergic to. My Pibble did a great job on it! My first Pibble is allergic to everything, and it can only eat protein from the sea, so it’s a lot of fish!

Zignature Trout and Salmon, it is a limited ingredient food with a single source of protein. I have a gray and white bully and he used to be at Apoquel because he is allergic to most foods. He doesn’t flare up anymore because of this food and doesn’t take medicine anymore. So I add Sea Gold to the food for its coat and digestive system. No problem anymore, hope this helps
