Ellie got one shot (after the benadryl didn't work) and she is only mildly itchy sometimes. This usually only happens now when she gets a piece of food with corn product in it.

The Wellness should be a good choice. Processed foods are so complex though so it's hard to say. Did you know that it can take up to 60 days for the body to detoxify and the new food to kick in? Your girl could be itchy for two months even on the new food (Wellness). Have you thought about cooking for her instead of going to Science Diet?
Thanks for the info on how long it takes for the change to be noticeable, I sure didn't know that. He didn't say Science Diet, he said a diet that contains no chicken or corn like stuff He said it's special but he never said Science diet...........I would not let him put her in that kind of diet, I would have to find a different vet
