We didn't give him any for a while and then we noticed that the couple of times we did, he would start licking and kinda nibbling at his paws. We stopped chicken, he was fine, gave it and he started again.
Is it possible for you to try and weed out different ingredients? So many dog foods have chicken/turkey/duck in it.  |
Well...he was on Iams Healthy Naturals until I found out how bad the reviews were on it. He is a rehome and came to me on Iams so I left him on it. I tried to switch it up last week I bought Blue Life Protection formula Fish and sweet potato. I was trying to get away from the corn products...thought maybe that was it. When I switched him I didn't do it slowly because he was completely out of Iams..which was a mistake because it messed his tummy up. I went about another bag of Iams and am mixing the 2 foods now. His stools have firmed up some since I did that. When I took him to the vet last time they thought it was a flea allergy because he had been to the groomer and I found one flea on him. It may be another vet visit on Monday if he doesn't seem better this weekend.
