Dog Food Allergies a big business for dog food companies
Hills Prescription Diet for dog food allergies costs around $25.00 per case of canned food.
My dog has to eat this dog food. If he doesn’t he will get an upset stomach and stop eating and drinking for anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. The bagged kibble food costs me around $76.00 per month.
I go through about two cases of canned food and 1 large bag of kibble per month.

That along with regular vet visits costs me quite a bit of $$$. It’s a good thing I am on a diet because my dogs food costs more than my trip to Trader Joes. I did try Trader Joe’s bagged kibble but this food did not agree with my dog and he was throwing up after two days.

My dog has allergies
My dog had these scabby spots on her belly. I thought they were hot spots but they weren’t according to my vet. They show up looking like those scabs kids get when they fall off their bikes.
I put some ointment on the sores but they just came back again.
When my dog did not respond to this treatment I took her to the vet. He gave her some antibiotics which took effect almost immediately. No new outbreaks were seen and the infected areas were drying up and getting smaller.
Along with this treatment the vet also told me to bath her in a medicated shampoo called Malaseb.
Malaseb is a shampoo available from your veterinarian or online. This product was recommended to me by both my Vet and Groomer. It will help the skin heal and get back to normal faster. It is very effective for yeast, but will not treat bacterial infection, or underlying allergies. It also has the benefit of making your dog feel a lot better and that’s what we want for out pets.
* Things that may help you are:
* Medicated Shampoos such as Malaseb
* Wiping the dog down with Malaseb wipes
* Healthy food with no wheat (poisoned) or corn (genetically modified)
* Wash bedding at least every other day in dye free/ perfume free detergent
* Adding a good source of omega fatty acids like fish oils
* Use of prozyme or other similar product
* Immune boosting supplements
Finding a good dog food for dogs allergic to commercial dog food
Is there such a thing as a good dog food for allergies, because it seems as if all the dog food on the market is either tainted, substandard or mostly by-products.
It has become a concern to dog owners that dog food for allergies, available in markets and pet shops, is substandard. Because of the poison that has been found in the wheat products sourced from China, all of us, I believe, are worried about dog food allergies, and the food we give to our pets.
In addition corn which is a major filler in these foods is likely genetically modified. I believe most Americans are not aware that genetically engineered corn has entered the food supply for humans. A test crop of genetically engineered corn called StarLink was developed as a feed for livestock, eg cattle, and pigs. Because livestock has been fed genetically modified foods for years this can cause allergies and illness to our dogs, but when you choose a protein from a rabbit, duck or salmon, these animals have not been fed genetically modified corn or given growth hormones.

I believe that dog food allergies in our dogs can stem from using these substandard grains as a filler. And as we go up the chain from wheat and corn to livestock, meat byproducts that are common ingredients in commercial dog food must also be suspect. How can we trust wheat, corn or the livestock that has been fed with grain that has been compromised or altered?
As I researched this problem of finding a good dog food for allergies, I have found that different dog breeds are of course from different parts of the world. An Eskimo dog living in the Arctic would eat fish, seal, and other meat with a high fat content. A dog from China who is raised inland and far from the ocean, would of course hunt local food sources. They hunted and ate a different food variety than that of dogs from different geographic regions.
Take for instance the West Highland White Terrier. West Highland White Terrier was bred on the Aisle of Sky, which lies of the western coast of Scotland.
This hardy little dog has good hunting ability for rats, rabbits, squirrels, and this was their main diet source. During our research we have found out that local game in Scotland duck, and salmon.
Potatoes, Oats, and salmon, are foods that are native to Scotland. Owners of West Highland Terriers a hundred years ago would keep these sturdy little dogs as vermin hunters around the farm to protect the Cairns or granaries from vermin infestation, so naturally it would seem logical that these little dogs would be given food such as potatoes, Oats and pieces of mutton to supplement their daily diet of mice and rats caught in the local Cairns.
If we look at the ingredients of kibble commonly sold in pet shops, we find the primary ingredient is wheat. The biggest proportion is wheat or corn. Then as we read the other ingredients we find that beef, and chicken meal, are used as fillers.
Since neither wheat nor corn was in the Westie’s diet, therefore why should we expect this terrier breed to thrive on foods of non-Scottish origin?
This consideration inspired me to develop specialized diets tailored for different dog breeds based on foods from their places of native origin. After extensive research I have formulated specific that are unique to each breed.
If your dog is not doing well on its current diet, I would suggest trying one of my specialized formulas. You will receive instructions on how to prepare a meal for your dog that will keep it healthy and happy.
