What is good food for dogs that get skin allergies?
There are several things you should make sure your dog doesn't eat. Most dog foods use corn as a base grain, many dogs are allergic to corn . Make sure the food you feed doesn't have any. Some dog food also includes vegetable waste dogs are allergic to. I personally would recommend a good wheat based food like Nutro Max or maybe the lamb and rice same company.

Reply:ask a vet
Reply:Boil Liver, , , Beef, Pork it does not matter
Reply:avocado is great for dog's skin and coat.
Reply:as a groomer I've always heard that if you dog was itching because of a rash then it is a habit for him and the med. called benadryl (1/2 of a tsp) will stop the itching .


only once a day.
Reply:I forget the name of the Dog food (very strange soundling name)





but its base is crab meat.. instead of beef or chicken





it came highly recommened from my vet and worked wonders
Reply:My family dogs all had the same problem. She should be placed on food that is free of any dyes, nitrates, additives, etc. Try Dick Van Pattens natural Dog food, it works. But if you have to get immediate care she can get an allergy shot from the vet. lamb, as well as venison instead of beef may be good foods. Do NOT give your dog Benadryl, it can kill them, no groomer or vet should be telling you that.

Reply:There are many foods out on the market targeted towards skin allergy issues. Go to http://www.heartypet.com and in the product search just enter "allergies" ... you will find several foods that should be good. Brands such as Canidae and Wellness come to mind.





Have you spoken with your vet to make sure it is an allergy and not something else unrelated to food?
Reply:Ask your vet about Ivermectin liquid. A few cc's eveyday for 90 days may clear it up.
Reply:My personal choice is the Bones and Raw Food (B.A.R.F.) since nothing's cooked or processed. It does take a little more work on our part that putting kibble in a bowl, and I'll put a website below for you. I can do a veggie meal for 380# of dogs in 15 minutes. :])





In processed foods, Lamb %26amp; Rice or Fish %26amp; Sweet Potato formulas are good for allergie-prone dogs.





You do want to address with your vet if it's 'contact' allergies, such as grass, new carpet, etc. These are impossible to eliminate, but limiting exposure helps, and wiping your dog's feet, tummy after exposure helps a lot.





Good luck to both of you! If you're interested in starting the raw diet, I'll be happy to help you out.
Reply:there are many good foods out there. i feed eukanuba's response/F/P. It is by prescription only. but you can try lamb and rice.most of the food that really work you will have to get from your vet.
Reply:contact your vet for a prescription diet like science diet z/d
Reply:My Airedale terrier had skin problems. The vet had me feed her lamb and rice IAMs. It helped. Try that and good luck.
Reply:my dog ate lamb and rice products. thats what the vet suggested. he was bad he had to take prednisone and a special shampoo I had to use for two weeks! It turned into yeast infection because they start to scratch because it itches their teeth and nails infect the areas because there dirty. you might want to take her to the vet. Lamb and rice worked wonders and made him better!
