First 2 Ingredients of: Wellness: Canola Oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols, a natural source of Vitamin E), Ground Brown Rice, Tomato Pomace Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken Puppy Food: Lamb, Lamb Meal, Millet Eagle Pack: Chicken meal, Ground Yellow Corn, Rice Flour Natural Balance Small Bites: Chicken, Brown Rice, Lamb Meal I don't understand what makes all these foods "premium"... Doesn't look much different than everything else. |
Hi! If you can't find a high quality food in your area I would recommend trying Life's Abundance. Its shipped right to your door! :thumbup: I use this, recommend it, and sell it :) We LOVE it and all my babies go CRAZY for it and it is so good for them :thumbup: I have a boy with alergies and he has not been itching since!!!! Here is the link if you'd like to try it HealthyPetNet Premium Natural Healthy Dog Foods Shipping isn't bad either $7.50 for any size bag, no matter what state your in! We love it and I plan to stay on it thier life time. |
Out of those brands, I have used Wellness Superfive Chicken Mix, which I really LOVED the ingredients of, but Ranger started to dislike it and would just pick. I had used Solid Gold Just a Wee Bit before, and recently switched him back to it and he LOVES it!! It has Bison and Salmon, has small kibbles, and is kinda smelly but I think that's why he loves it so freakin' much! I think that is my winner for now..... Oh, and you can feed the Just a Wee Bit to puppies, it has enough nutrician for small dogs as adults and puppies as it has a higher protein. Just a thought.. |
The first three ingrediants of Wellness are actually Deboned Turkey, Chicken Meal, Salmon Meal, Our dogs are on Wellness are love and are doing great, Buddy's coat has improved dramatically. My only other choice would be be Life's Abundance, which you can guarnatee the freshness of and they are not mass marketed so they will be able to easily watch quality control. |

I ended up getting the Wellness brand for puppies on my lunch break. I'll have Chewie give it a try tonight. Yeah, those ingredients I listed are from the Petco website and I guess they aren't accurate because my bag says the same things as yours. Lets all home the itchies go away and he loves this food for a long time. |
Make sure you give it at least a week, his skin is probably still irritated from all the itching, and will need a while to settledown. A bath with some soothing shampoo (oatmeal shampoo) might help also. |
Also, the only similar ingredients between Wellness and RC are Barley, Salmon Meal, Brown rice and Rice Bran...so hopefully the ingredient he's allergic to has been eliminated. |

I didn't realize Eagle Pack had questionable ingredients when I answered before, so I'm unrecommending it.:) |
One more suggestion for you... My Alyssa has severe allergies to corn and wheat. We were on Royal Canin for Yorkies then switched to Canidae and finally to Life's Abundance. I love Canidae and Life's Abundance. We have used Life's Abundance for about a year and are quite pleased with it. All of Alyssa's itching and scratching have stopped. You will also need to watch the ingredients in your treats. Eliminate all corn and wheat in them. Your will be shocked at how many treats have corn, wheat. or animal by-products in them. Also, my Alyssa had itching issues due to Frontline Plus. We have switched to Comfortis and are leading a non scratching life. It is wonderful! Life's Abundance food is available on an automatic ship. We get a bag each month which is what my 3 girls use. They are maintaining a healthy weight also on Life's Abundance. I plan to use it for the rest of their lives. For treats I buy Yorkie Yummies or pick up a bag of Chicken and Lamb jerky at Petco. It is grain free, contains no meat by-products, or artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. My girls love them. These treats are by Wellness. |

I think Eagle Pack changed their formula, I don't recall it containing corn last year when I was doing all of my research. |
Our Yorkie was on Nutro when we adopted her, she did ok with it but I was concerned about the recall it had in the past. I now have her on Eukanuba Yorkshire and she is doing great with it. |
