On a side note, my brother has a Rhodesian Ridgeback that he's been fighting a constant battle with over allergies. He's spent soooo much at vet over it with no results. I got him to switch over to the dry food I'm using but still she was breaking out. I then found out that the canned food he was feeding her was the chunky kind, with the gravy. I told him to try the loaf style of the same brand and now she's fine...no breakouts for a good while. Turns out the chunky style used wheat gluten for the gravy. So many brands use this in their chunky formulas and it should be avoided. Just a little FYI for those that feed canned.....Jim |
I agree!!
Wheat can be so tough on these guys. I think Marcel has issues w/ wheat too. Good detective work on that gravy.
