I can say 99% that the itching is from the corn ingredients in Royal Canin. Since adding nature's balance the itching has been much less and his hair is easier to brush.

But most dog foods have corn in them. I just read a bunch of ingredient labels on different dog foods and they all have some kind of corn in them.

I've only read a handful of ingredient lists for different brands but RC has corn as the 2nd ingredient (i think) which means there is a lot in there. Could be other things though, I just read that someone thought their dog was allergic to chicken.

Honey eats California Natural Lamb meal & rice - always has - and she loves it with a couple of canned green beans (with a little "green bean juice") mixed in as little extras. Good for little poops!

i hope i don't offend anyone. but i think Iams/Eukanuba are junk. they have junk ingredients.

and i know that some companies do animal testing, but they are horrible with what they do to their test dogs.

on my other posts, i have posted a website that contained a lot of ingredients to avoid in dog food, i'm not at my regular computer so i do not have the website.

Early in this thread there is a list of good dog foods. From everyone I've talked to or seen on this site, Nature's Balance, Canidae and Innova are the best. People say their dogs don't itch or flake on these foods.
Good Luck

Is this something that has to be ordered online? Or is there a pet store that would carry it?

you can look on innova's website.

www.naturapet.com

and look for a distributor/pet store in your area that sells it. petco/petsmart doesn't sell it.

I feed Roxy and Gibson Innova puppy formula. They love it! I bought them Wellness and they wouldnt touch it, then Natural Choice Lamb and Rice and it made their poo really really soft, (sorry to be graphic) so I stopped using that.

LMHamel · 05-27-2005, 10:05 AM

I feed Guinness Chicken Soup for the Soul Puppy food. He is doing wonderful on it.

I bought the Natural Balance Potatoe and Duck dry food today to try to switch from Royal Canin for Bella and she LOVES it. I give her the Natural Balance Beef and Lamb Rolls mixed with dry.

I also bought the Natural Balance cat food and they love it too
