Turbo can't have chicken, turkey, venison & white fish but is ok w/corn, oats (all grains), potatoes, etc. I feed them Primal & Stella & Chewy's, he mostly gets duck, pheasant & rabbit. He didn't like frozen, so he was eating the freeze dried versions, but he likes the frozen again! Ever since avoiding the proteins he can't have, he has not thrown up. The nutriscan test was a life saver for us.
If Buster Brown has yeast, it's best to avoid anything 'sugary'. No potatoes, no grains, basically no carbs as these foods high in sugar fuels the yeast. It's very itchy for the pups...all over, Princess suffered from yeast infections (she had numerous skin scrapings to confirm this). Now that she's on a 100% (premade) raw diet, her yeast is gone. She still has her enviro allergies tho, but it's not as bad.
I did feed them Canine Caviar when they were eating kibble. They did great on it. I chose it bc it didn't have potatoes, wasn't a bz food & they liked all the grain free versions. | I will definitely talk with my Vet about this test because some of his food allergies are borderline positive. I have been also looking at the Canine Caviar Lamb & pearl Millet. I am getting new pillows and throw pillows this weekend as he is allergic to feathers and look into a new mattress. Once again since I first got Buster Brown the members of YT have been so helpful. Love you all and thanks
