my Mika (Aust. Silky Terrier) recently treat with skin allergy..all this while I'm feeding her with Orijen Fish (Orijen puppy to Orijen Fish till present: 2yrs 8 mths)...recently I have changed it to Royal Canine as she stop eating Orijen (maybe boring with the food) but she start get serious with her skin.... The vet given her some antibiotic and ask me to monitor her diet, except lamb and fish, no other diet...
I had tried few brands of fish base ingredients kibble but she seems like don't like fish smell anymore...i just bought a pack N Balance Lamb + potato meal as the vet's place doesn't sell any brand that convincing me of the quality...
Now I would like to get some experience dog owner here to recommend me few brands of dog kibble to buy for skin allergy prone dog...beside lamb and fish, is there any meat that suit her skin conditions?

QUOTE(sherly @ Aug 4 2010, 01:43 AM) hi, my toy poodle puppy is now on a diet of Orijen Puppy mixed with Go! Natural Chicken, Fruits & Veggie. She is very healthy and I noticed she has increased energy and shiny coat. Was worried that Orijen's protein is too high for small breed dog, so I only give her 30% Orijen mixed with 70% Go! Natural.
Added on August 4, 2010, 1:51 amHi, have you checked whether your dog is having skin problem like mange or mites infestation. My puppy was previously treated with skin allergy, but turned out she was under attack of mange and this was pointed out by a groomer, lol. Vet gave her 2 injections and all her itchy problem is gone and I am glad that my puppy can eat chicken diet now, no more hypoallergenic food. Besides Lamb, you can try to feed your dog Duck. Natural Balance has this Potato and Duck formula. You can also try Go! Natural's Salmon & Oatmeal or Duck formula, both are ideal for Allergies. Dr confirm that she's not under mange or mites infestation cause we had done 3 times skin scrapping analysis on her... beside bacteria, there's nothing on her skin..(bacteria due to allergy get serious and cause wound)...but the wound area actually is drying up after she took antibiotic and bath with medicated shampoo every 3-4 days... that's why vet actually advise me to watch on her diet and try to give her food that not cause allergy...The natural balance lamb and potato formula, she seems doesn't like it at all..she doesn't want to eat!!! I have some friends advise me to feed her Addiction or Innova...will try to get some sample this time as am not sure with her taste...another alternative i can think of is Artemis Fish but don't know whether she likes it or not... |

QUOTE(jeins @ Aug 5 2010, 11:16 PM) Hi All, This is a great thread.. I've learn a lot from here... I am wondering did anyone tried on Taste of the Wild (TOTW) or Nova Natural Trainer before ? I heard that TOTW is quite a good brand,but i am not sure about the Natural Trainer. anyone can advice? I am having a 2 yr old GSD and was on orijen since he was a puppy. However, i am planning to change him to either TOTW or Natuiral trainer (because of too high protein level and also... the price is getting higher and higher) . is it a good move ? please advice. Thanks in advance. TOWT is really a good brand..where did you found this brand? |
