| Mommy in need of help...with allergies! Hello everyone! I am hoping to be able to get some help for my poor Bella's sake. A few months ago I took her to the vet to get check because it seemed like she was having allergies. Having all the symptoms... scratching non stop, constant licking, and biting of her feet. The vet confirmed that it was allergies. At first I thought her allergies might of been caused by enviromental allergies...from running around in the back yard. Since then I have not been letting her run around it our yard to see if that would help...but sadly it has not. She is eating the same food, using the same shampoo for her baths, has no fleas, etc. There are only two other things that I can think of... Her flea/heartworm medication changed a few months ago...Could that be causing her allergies? Or a few months ago we bought her a new bag of food, same brand Science Diet small bites...Could the new bag have something specific that can be causing her allergies although it is the same brand she has been eating for a long time with no problems before? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

| It could be the food or the heartworm I would switch it up and see. She could be allergic to the protein source like chicken and then you would need to change to a different protein source like lamb. Some of the science diet foods have corn in them which can give the itchies it did to mine so try to find one without corn as an ingredient

| We have had amazing results with a grainfree, fish protein food that includes lots of probiotics and digestive enzymes. (Earthborn holistics-coastal catch- Fromm grainfree Tunalini, TOTW- Pacific stream.These foods seem expensive but they last a long time,they eat so little) My dogs are so shiny and healthy, I save money because they are rarely at the vets. |
