Well i have some friends that have dogs that are allergic to almost every food as well. And the 3 that they have had great results with are EVO Red Meat Large Bites, Taste of the Wild, and Orijen. All three of these food are grain-free. Which make it great for dogs with food allergies. All these foods are 6 out of 6 stars. All these foods are great and have fantastic ingredients. And these foods have worked out great for dogs with food allergies.
I feed the Taste of the Wild “wetlands formula” it has real duck meat but my dogs don’t have allergies but i do have a friend who feeds taste of the wild and her dog has allergies and ever since he has been on this food he has done great on it.
Here are the Websites to each dog food to find a store near you that carries them and these foods are much less then what you are paying:::::

Natural Balance Potato and Duck
Eagle Pack Holistic Select Duck and Oatmeal
Do you need to stay with Duck? If you can switch proteins,
California Natural Herring and Sweet Potato
Natural Balance Fish and Potato
Orijen 6 fish Adult
Eagle Pack Holistic Select Anchovy/Sardine
Go! Salmon and Oatmeal
Did you have an allergy panel done by a vet? It gives you an EXACT indication of your dogs’ allergy triggers. It costs about $300+ but really helps determine what you can feed him.
Good Luck

Wow that is very expensive. My research with dog’s allergies found some key things to stay away from when looking for food. Soy, wheat, corn, preservatives, red meat. Can you just find good high quality brands that don’t have those ingredients. Chicken and rice formular seem to be best when it comes to one of my dog that has colitis.

We feed our GS Science Diet Large Breed lamb & rice and on occasion the original. The lamb & rice cost more and doesn’t go on sale often but it’s still cheaper than what you pay.
Our dogs are healthy and have a very shiny coat.

My dog was having the same problem. She was having IVD- venison. Then I switched to Natural Balance- venison & potato. She likes it & does not show any allergic reaction.
