But i looked it up and it says most food allergies are caused by beef, chicken, corn, milk products, and fish, and a few other things. So im starting with the corn bc its the only one the wet food didnt have that the rest did. After that ill change away from chicken probably and see if that helps. The salmon food he was on made him worse, and doesnt list chicken, but it does list animal fat with somethin weird in it, and my other food listed chicken fat with the same weird thing in it, so i wonder if there was chicken fat in the salmon diet. Im still trying, but im gonna do the blended kibble first to see if he can eat that without throw up. Im NOT looking forward to months upon months of diet trials.  And all these ppl say the food has JUST basics in it, when in reality it has a CRAP LOAD of other stuff in it. Most of the ingredients in all the foods ive tried are same!! So we'll see. |
blood cannot determine food allergy only environmental allergy so again it is a waste of money
and it is not cheap to get this done it cost about $400
