Hello Everyone,
Thanks for the replies. Hanna is feeling better today. Still scratching but not nearly as badly as yesterday. I really don't believe it is the Canidae because she is really great if I don't give her any other commercial dog treats or food.
She has suffered from this for 6 years now and we are only just getting a grip on it in this past year. The vet had put her on so many different foods that only made it worse and special shampoos and such which never helped. Anyway we are doing much better.
She is eating Canidae "all stages" grain free formula. My other dog (1/2 Shih Tzu, 1/2 Chihuahua) does not have this problem. She is 6 years old so it would have shown up by now. My husband swears it is because Hanna is a pedigree, but we all know better than that.
Two years ago Hanna also had a bout of cancer, the tumor was removed and she has been fine ever since.
I have to keep my eyes open for anything that "triggers" a reaction and it seems that the Heartgard did. So I need to know the ingredients and than find another product that will protect her.
The poor girl has suffered for so many years it is a joy to see her not scratching and stinky. I don't want to give her anything to cause flare ups, even if it is suppose to be good for her.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
