Good grain free limited ingredient food?

[Sheldonsmom]

Well, we saw the vet and she said all the itchiness on skin and paws are food allergy related.
I am looking for a Grain free limited ingredient food. He is eating Now fresh grain free formula with duck, turkey and salmon.

Anyone has any recommendations? Thank you very much

I was looking at these here but not sure if there are more out there I am not aware off.

Dolly had a lot of itching and I change to Blue Buffalo for small breeds and that stopped it, Good luck

I feed Natures Variety Limited Ingredient - the Lamb and the Turkey.

Blue Buffalo makes some L.I.D foods. The line is called Blue Basics, not sure if the Basics line has a grain free option or not. Blue Buffalo also has Wilderness which is a grain free option. They have chicken, salmon and duck. I feed Sasha Wilderness and she does awesome on this food.

HI , THIS FOOD LOOKS EXCELLENT.
I WAS CONSIDERING IT BUT IT WOULD BE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO FEED ALLL MY DOGS BUT WOULD BE REASONABLE FOR ONE SMALL DOG..
THEY EVEN HAVE AN INTRODUCTORY OFFER..
CHECK IT OUT...

Thanks!

I checked out blue basics and they are all turkey, I want to steer away from turkey or any of the protein ingredients in his current food.


@Oscar's mom, I thought you were feeding California Natural? Did you change? When I asked the guy at the pet store he recommended the kangaroo/lentil.
BTW I checked out Darwins food, is this all raw?

no , i have not changed . Oscar is eating a mix of the california natural kangaroo & red lentil with
acana lamb & apple.. He is still having lots of itching.
Can't figure out if its due to food or the shampoo so i am holding off on the baths for awhile to see if that could be it.
As far as the food goes he is doing excellent as far as digestion wise..
I checked out the darwins awhile back but it is too expensive for us. Yeah , it is a raw diet..

Hmmm, have you tried the kangaroo/lentil by itself? or acana lamb/apple, maybe is best if you try one limited ingredient at a time.

My vet said potatoes or any beef product could be causing allergies. Afer researching potato in dog food I found this...

oh yeah, he was on the kangaroo/red lentil by itself but i did not want to change him cold turkey that is why i mixed it with the acana lamb & apple. It is almost all acana now and digestion wise he is doing much better. Smaller firmer poos.
I think the itching is not quite as bad now but i will still hold off on the bath for now. I do not think oscar would do well on the wysong , it is too rich. He does not do well on an all meat rich food.. I am hoping this Acana Lamb & Apple is it . I hate switching foods ...

Was he still itchy with the kangaroo/lentil? Why did you change?
I need to figure out what to do since Sheldon is almost out of the Now.

Wow that whyson food is 480 cal per cup and 60% protein. I didn't look at the analysis before, I was just wondering about the starches and grains.

well he seemed to do ok on the kangaroo/red lentil but digestion wise he was not doing well on it. he really large poos & a lot of them .
for some reason he was not digesting the food properly.
but he is doing really well on the acana lamb & apple.
so i am hoping it helps the itchys too cause i do not want to change his food again but i know it will take awhile
to see the effect..
ps , i know wysong is a good food but it is not for all dogs. it is a super rich concentrated food..

Ohhh ok. Sheldon is a super poop machine I have been feeding him 1/2 a cup of food 3 times a day and he is pooping less but they are still big poops, big but healthy.
ps: The kangaroo/lentil is a high calorie food.

I just noticed that potato (possible allerigies) is the second ingredient in Now food followed by flax seeds as 5th (poopers). My vet is up to something.

Did she do testing to know it was a food allergy because Callie does the same thing with environmental allergys and it is the season for that.
