If food allergies persist you may need to consider a RAW diet, as well as rotating ingredients to ensure exposures to certain foods to figure the allergy out-like we do with skin kids starting them on one type of food for at least 5 days to ensure no allergic reaction-talk to your vet about it first though. RAW change over entails a transition.

Honestly using an "irritant free" food is probably going to solve the problem-Eukanuba isn't a "junk" food it's just not as great as it is often made out to be-a lot of kennels, vets etc recommend it-but I think it has to do more so with it being "BIG" in name, advertised to vets etc more, and more widely available.

I'm lucky to have a vet that knows just about every food on the market....and takes the time to read more than brochures sent to her practice by food companies.

Chatties Mom-I just refreshed and saw your post-I agree! Very important point to make...
