I have 2 dogs, a Shar pei and a miniature Aussie. Both have severe flea allergies and we have tried almost everything. It seems as if even one flea will make them break out, lose hair and scratch uncontrollably. Any suggestions?

My GSD is allergic to most of the dog food out there. i am getting him IVD potato and duck formula. but it is very expensive ( $90 per 40lbs). is there any alternative that i can choose?

We understand the dog is 13 years old, Doberman Mastiff. Our best friend, truly. A young Hungarian girl, who had squeezed through a padlocked gate, came to our door, bruised and shaking, with a Hungarian English Dictionary; she said “help me.” She didn’t know anyone here; we helped her. Her divorce from this Romanian man was finalized Friday. Tuesday at 2am someone is in the yard. Our dog is acting sick, farts, Whew! Coughing, choking, sneezing, bloody stool, but the Vet says allergies. Next day the dog throws up food we didn’t feed him. Thursday morning the dog can’t walk, can’t breathe, I lay down next to my best buddy, hold him tight, and he takes his last breath in my arms. It hurts so badly. What happened in three days?

I have him on a corn and wheat free dog food that has no artificial additives that was recommended for allergy prone dogs. I have also added Omega-3 to his diet daily. He has been on this for almost a week now and I was wondering how long before I can expect to see an improvement? Oh and our old vet had recommended Science Diet for years and I think that has been the root of his problem since the beginning.

Food allergies? Can they come from excessive use of your neck muscles combined with the above? How do you prevent earaches?
