| allergies while on prednisone? is it possible to develop allergies to purina ha while on prednisone so quickly. she has been eating purina for a little over one week; not 100% transitioned yet. i mixed it with turkey and oatmeal however she started itching and licking her paws again; it looks like she's allergic to soy. would hills ultra z/d or purina en be better in this case? anyone had better success with these? thanks

| Me personally, I had the best success with my Westie's allergies (they are notoriously famous for skin/enviromnental allergies) with Blue Buffalo Duck Formula. It is grain free, no chicken . . . This is the best allergy season he has had so far. I did have to give him a Zyrtech yesterday. |

| This is why i say steroids do not stop a food allergy as if they itch while on steroids then most likely food related. Just my opinion from my experience as well as on allergy dog group |

| i think she might be highly allergic to the soy; well i am taking back the food and trying the purina EN; and hoping that works. if that doesnt i was looking at the EVO venision canned food; it has no grains. this might be good for her a high quality food. but not sure about the protein and fat content; if she will be able to digest it. they state on their site that it's highly digestible Meat-Based Pet Food – Premium Dog Food, Cat Food, Ferret Food, Dog Treats – EVO Pet Products i will ask her vet

| It IS hard to find the right food when they have multiple problems. Hope you find one that works for you! |

| I do not know how to calculate food out from wet to dry so maybe google it or someone on here can help with that but that seems high to me for fat and i am aware that evo is very high in fat food |
