Dog Food For Allergies?

we think our 9 month old american pit bull terrier may be allergic to rice. does anyone know of a decent food without too many fillers and without rice? i would prefer to use puppy food.

Hi, I have small chihuahuas and am currently feeding them on burns minibites throughout the day and a small amount of pedigree favourites for small dogs (pouches) once a day.
The problem I have is that, after giving the meat, one of the dogs begins to shake and i am sure this is an allergy, i have tried many different dog foods and she begins to shake after each one. I also have another dog whose fur has become dry and fluffy.
As far as I was aware burns is one of the best for relieving allergies, but my OH wont allow the dogs to just eat the biscuits as he thinks the tinned meat is important.
My question is, is there anything else, either shop bought or easily home-made, that I can give them instead that will relieve this problem.
Also does anyone think the burns food could be causing the skin allergies of my second dog or have you had problems wth burns foods in the past?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

My 2 yr old springer spaniel has seasonal allergies. Food allergy as been ruled out. He receives monthly cortisone shots and daily benedryl to control but he can still get quite red and irritated on belly and chest at times; and always after a bath. Scratching and licking causes hair loss. Is there any safe topical sprays to use during severe outbreaks?
