| Allergies??? Okay, now I have another problem. I switched Izzy's food because he was allergic...had stomach issues etc. and now he has been doing really well. No vomiting...yay! Now I noticed that he is licking his paws and chewing his nails on one paw a lot. I believe that this is a sign of allergies...is this correct? If so, what do I need to change now? Right now he is on Go! Natural (Duck Formula) I had him on Natural Balance (Duck + Potato) but switched to the Go! Natural because the kibble was smaller and easier for him to chew. Do I need to change his food again? I haven't been able to take him to the vet yet. In the meantime I want to see if there is something I can do to relieve his discomfort.

| Maybe try a different food. My pug had reactions to tons of different foods. I put him on Blue Buffalo small breed and he is doing great! The first ingredient is de-boned chicken! Good Luck |

i feed newmans own organic to my maltese and have for years it is very high in grains so that may have been the reason why and Go may have too many ingredients go back to what worked just get the small bites yorkies have really sensitive stomachs and they have skin allergies so if the other was working transition back slowly | |
