I home cook for my dogs, so I tend to avoid discussions on brands of dog food. Since I tend to spend a lot of time in the sick and injured forum, I will agree with others that we see over and over people feeling badly about feeding an Rx food because of what they have read on YT. Indeed, most threads indeed are about regular SD food. However, the average person sees it as "Science Diet is bad" therefore when their vet recommends SD Rx diet, they are scared to to feed it and think they are doing wrong by their dog.

To the person whose dog is having allergies - FYI allergy testing for food is unreliable and a waste of money. The best way to see what ingredients your dog is allergic to is to conduct a strict food elimination diet. Chances are, the dog has environmental allergies, and testing for those IS reliable. There are medications that can help - my dog has been on Atopica for years - recently had to come off for other reasons temporarily - but it has been a life saver. You might want to ask your vet about it. There are also allergy shots - I think Wylie's Mom has used them for her dog (?) so you could ask her. The best bet is a vet dermatologist to do some looking into on your dog's case, that would be my starting point.
