Definitely agree with Jenny that a white potato-free and grain-free food is the way to go. Toki used to have a very yeasty smell on her paws and in her ears. I switched her to this kind of food and it helped immensely. We fed her mostly wet food and supplemented with kibbles. Some of the ones we used were:
Earthborn Holistic Grain-free Moist Entrees (the turkey, duck, and lamb varieties did not have white potato)
Earthborn Holistic GF kibble--2 formulas are white potato-free; the Meadow Feast is lamb-based (Toki did really great on this one) and the Great Plains Feast is bison and pea-based (we have a bag of this in our pantry right now...I really like Earthborn products!).
TikiDog--these canned formulas have brown rice in them but it isn't very much and Toki did well on these...they are high in protein and very low in carbs.
Natural Balance--Legume and Duck meal; my parents' beagle is very sensitive and has a lot of allergies but does really well on this food. She doesn't itch or lick herself raw on this formula. She also does well on the other limited ingredient NB formulas although some of them contain white potato.
Nature's Variety Instinct and Orijen might also be good options if your mom's dog can tolerate higher protein. Also Nutrisca (we haven't used this one).
Hope your mom is able to find something that works.
I'm not sure that I've heard of the Natures Own Grain Free...sorry I can't offer more advice there. |
