Good dog food for skin allergies?Authority?
Look at the ingredients on those. I remember that I wasn't at all impressed and didn't see much difference in cheap/generic kinds. My 2 chichuahua's have horrible, chronic allergies and are allergic to almost every kind of protein. I finally found a life saver that took 2 years of horrible suffering for me to find. It's called "Natural Balance" by Dick Van Patten. It has an allergy formula. You can get the Duck and Potato, Venison/Potato or Vegitarian and there is a couple other mixtures but it is specifically designed for chronic allergies. Duck is the universal meat that most dogs who are allergic can tolerate. EGG, SOY, BEEF, YEAST, GRAINS Etc are the most common allergens. Compare the ingredients and you won't be disappointed. I also tried Hills and Royal and My dogs wouldn't touch it and I spent a fortune and ended up donating it to the pound. Anyway, you can get a 25 pound bag of Natural Balance For about 20.00 or 25.00. It has few but quality ingredients. You can't buy it at petsmart but you can at Petco, and many other smaller or exclusive pet stores carry this or most farm supply feed and seed. Do Not use Authority if has allergies, they have ingredients that aren't always allergy friendly. PetSmart Does Not carry any "limited ingredient" pet foods classified as allergy food. Maybe the BLUE brand will come closest. It is a very good high quality food but again, some have 1 or 2 ingredients that will still set off allergic reactions. My advice to you is defineately the Natural Balance Duck/Potato formula designed for allergies. It's what everyone uses who has any experience with their dog suffering.
