Allergy tests in pets are not common in my country Can I ask what brand of food Milo eats?

mybaby2013 I have tried with every kind of dog food I can find in the market and everything gets her sick She's very thin and we're constantly visiting the vet cause she gets sick all the time, I'm really worried. It's been like this for two years and I'm starting to think she won't be around pretty soon! :S
What happens when she gets sick? There's food intolerance & allergy & they're totally 2 different things. Turbo is intolerant of beef, pumpkin & maybe chicken & eggs...it makes him throw up. IDThink there's any tests for food intolerance, but there are tests for allergies. It's hard to pin point what food/ingredient actually effects them negatively, so a limited ingredient diet might be the next best thing from the allergy tests. Keep a food diary & keep track of every major protein ingredient she's eating, try to keep it 1 protein. Then it will be easier to find out what she's intolerant/ allergic to, if it's a protein source. Or try novel proteins like rabbit, kangaroo, venison, buffalo, etc.
