I wouldn't feed this to an allergy dog who is symptomatic...not for a second. It has way too many different proteins - there are no novel proteins in this food. I would never give flax to an allergy dog.

Omegas are wonderful for allergy dogs, but they should get it via fish if they have allergies.

I'm not sure what your goals are here. Are you trying to do an elimination diet? How did you come to believe his symptms are from the Acana? Food allergies in dogs are very, very rare. However, enviro allergies are extremely common in dogs (pollens, dust, whatevs).

What have you tried to treat these allergies? Which meds etc? Are you seeing a Vet Derm? If not, I'd find one right away.

This kiddo should be on a novel protein and a carb - that's the kind of kibble I'd look for a sympto dog.
