He started itching even worse. Now I don't know if I should just go back to science diet are will he become allergic to that as well b/c his skin is already irritated? Will it take a while for his skin to return to norm. Now I just read someone said royal canine is known for itchy skin. Should I take him to the vet to help the allergy before trying something new?? Is there a dog food that is especially good for dogs with skin allergies?Help!! |
While I would recommend you getting an allergy shot from the vet if you think it's necessary, be careful about discussing food with them. They will automatically say Science Diet.
It will take up to 60 days after switching foods to see the difference in itchiness (while the old food is leaving the system).
I would go to maybe Innova, Canidae, Wellness... if you want to feed kibble. I also like the idea of rotating every few months (between quality foods) because they don't acquire allergies so easily that way. If you are worried about your dogs being allergic to protein sources I would stick to the common ones for now and save the exotics (duck, rabbit) for if they ever do get an allergy to the common ones.
Make sense?
