Allergy food question PLEASE!!!!!!

OH boy, here we again! For the millionth time! Ok, some of you know of the troubles I have been having with Bubba, I am beginning its his food. He is on Natural Balance fish and potato...It's in my car now waiting to be exchanged (lovely smell) Anyway, I was hoping someone could recommend a good allergy food? Also the food must be agreeable for sensitive stomachs since he has had ulcers in the past.

I'm not sure what he's allergic too for sure, corn is definately one. Thanks!

Wellness has a new food for dogs with allergies

I have no idea how good it is. I forgot the name, but it's something like Simplify. There is a lot of info about in on the Wellness web site.

Good luck. Sorry to hear about Bubba's problem.

Than again, I guess it might need to be a food change for him!

You have it under control! I would be trying something new I guess if all those things apply:-)

Best of luck...let us know what you put him on:-)

Amy and Sophia

if they do not have it ..likely can order if they carry natural

the amount of ingredients the eaasier on the stomach and on the alergies as well

Try this ...limited diet from Natural Balance..lamb, rice and su

Natural balance has a few limited ingredients diets out there..
lamb and rice is one of them..and they just add oil to it too..
maybe call about that one..

BUMMER!! I just called

Petco, where I bought the Natural Balance, and they dont sell California Natural!!! Oh jeez

here is the link to their website..

Stainless steel water and food bowls.

I have used the same ones for years!

He eats and drinks out of

Stainless steel bowls. He does have a little mat under his bowls, but he has had the bowls and mat for years. Nothing has changed in the house, no new furniture or anything like that. I havbe no clue what it could be, but I do notice his symptoms right after he eats.

Oh gosh, than maybe you do need a change!

But one other question...what type food dish do you feed in?

Amy and Sophia

Thanks Pat! I am going straight to the store after

work and see if they carry that food. If not I will try something else! THanks!!!!

He has been on this food for

almost a year. I notice that about 15 minutes after he eats it, his eyes and gumd get very red and he can hardly open his eyes. He eats mostly at night. I go home on my lunch break everyday and he doesnt have the red eyes, its right after he eats. I wonder if they changed something in the food?

the other thing is that California Natural is resonable in price

awesome food

What type of bowl are you using to feed in?

Is it plastic or rubber? Metal? What about a place mat under his dish, is there one? I am gonna almost bet it isn't his food causing the allergy, but something in his environment.

Amy and Sophia

I am in Canada but sure you will be able to get it there for sur

it is a pretty popular dogfood really..
it is great in sense that there is nothing much to be alergic too and it is easy on the stomach..
I had great results with it..like I said
it comes in different flavours but for now keep it simple
and get the lamb and rice..
my suggestion

it is available at all big dogfood and pet places..all over NORTH america

Amber, how long has Bubba been on this food?

If you haven't given it at least 6 weeks, you haven't given it enough time to work all the allergens from anything else he has had out of his system. Also, the Fish may cause some issues, though that is what I feed and it does great for Sophie. Maybe try the venison? I would at least try for a while longer, if I remember correctly you only just went with this food recently?

why don't you cook for him?

or do a cooked/raw combo? I believe it's Sandy who cooks potatoes and oats and adds raw chicken. When you consider how much $$ you are spending at the vets, it may end up costing the same or even less long term.

I think its his foood

because shortly after he eats he gets reds eyes and really red gums.....He seems fine during the day but when he eats when I am home he gets those symptoms...Hope he's not allergic to me!!!! lol

Hi

I have heard great things about raw diet but I just cannot afford it!

[linked image]

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the tip! Can I get that at Petco? I normally buy his food from a feed store which carries alot of food that is not carried in Petco & Petsmart but for some lame reason I got the food at Petco this time and I have to exchange it there! Thanks again

what about California Natural...

it just has lamb, rice and sunflower oil
very very simple
it is used for dogs with sensitive stomachs and such too
I used this food with great success with a boston...
even used by some of the rescue groups here in Canada..
very simple and comes in moist and dry

I have been feeding mine NB Venison & Sweet Potato ...

for the last 2 years and they have been great on it.I know people who feed the fish and I just don't like it as well and for sure could do without the smell of it.I use to like the Duck & Potato but since they changed the formula recently I know people have had some problems with it.
