Hello Everyone,
I am Mom to a 9 year old 8 lb Yorkie, Hannamaye. She has suffered from allergies for years to the point she will bleed if not treated. I have worked and worried over this and have done just about everything there is to do and what I was told to try by the vet.
This past year I have finally elimited enough foods and discovered one main poison.
"Ethoxyquin" This ingredient is in just about all dog food as a preservative. It is also used in fertilizer, never the less.
I have changed her to only Canidi dry food because this was the only food I found local without this ingredient. (It will cause diarrhea if not changed gradually) She is doing great and her coat is looking beautiful.
Her treats are now small pieces of toast or (human) animal cookies. Things have been going pretty good with small bouts of scratching. But today she is having some problems again.
Today she is scratching again and I realized last night I gave her, her monthly Heartgard plus treat.
So now I have been trying to find out if this product has Ethoxyquin in it???? So far I can't find any of this information.
Does anybody know if this is the case? Does Heartgard Plus have Ethoxyquin in it?
Thanks for a great forum.
Linda
