My older boy started itching badly all of a sudden and after a lot of time and research I realized it was due to the grain and chicken in the dog food. Go figure... He ate chicken for years!! So we do the limited ingredient, grain free, dry food for small breeds from wellness. I mix with a little ground beef ( cooked and lean) and either some reg boiled or sweet potatoes. He had a dental and had 7 teeth pulled ( he's 13) so I add hot water to moisten the kibble. He used to get chicken broth but we had to obviously eliminate that. It takes a while ( 2 weeks) but the itching completely stops! Both are common allergies in dogs and both cause bad itching. I have to check all the ingredients in certain things bc a lot of foods have some kind of poultry ingredient or grain. The worst is wheat or brown rice. |
