I think the barley caused all your probs but your dog needs to be on limited ingredient food even if environmental allergies

I am thinking of trying this for Zeus' itching. What is your suggestion after the 12 weeks?

if it works then stay with it - you have to give it 12 weeks to get the old food completely out of system and new one in to see - with allergies you have to do baby steps or you will get completely confused and frustrated and food elimination is the first step after checking for mites when a dog is itchy

Thanks I am going to try this for 12 weeks and then go from there. Zeus has been itchy since we got him. I took him straight to the vet thinking he had fleas but he never has. Just the a case of the itchy scratchies.

Thanks for the advice.

Well we got Zeus when he was 9 weeks. He is now 9 months old. I went and bought the Natural Balance Venison and Sweet Potato today. I hope this is my answer. If not it will be back to the drawing board.

stick to it for 12 weeks - NO TREATS NOTHING BUT THE DOG FOOD use the dog food as treats as you need to know if it is food related and this is the only way to know for sure

Paco was previously on Royal Canin - Yorkshire. His skin was dry and itchy and he was vomitting frecuently and his eye discharge was a dark brown. I was told to try Halo and he's doing well with it. His skin has cleared up, he has a shiney coat and no more vomitting!! He still gets discharge from his eyes in the mornings but its clear.
