Question by Kathy Morrison: Does any know of good brand of dog food for a possible food allergy?
I have an 8 year old Mini Schnauzer. She had what seems to be anal gland problems. She constantly licks back there. The vet believes she may have a food allergy and wants to put her on z/c Hills prescription dog food. I now have her on Wellness Super5Mix Complete Health Whitefish & Sweet Potato Recipe Dry Dog Food and mix in some wet food from wellness so she’ll eat it. At one time she had pimples on her skin so I switched her from Iams to Wellness 3 years ago. The skin problems went away but the anal issue still continued. No my question…. Does any know of good brand of dog food for a possible food allergy. Really don’t want to switch to prescription if I can avoid it and still get the same results.

you need to see a vet to determine if it is an allergy. Even a vet may not be able to determine if it is an allergy but you will at least know for sure what is going on and a proper course of action. You seem to have fixed the food issue, but there may be another problem as well.

Question by moturkeyh: my dogs have been eating canidae dog brand for years, just noticed one of my dogs constantly itching.?
There’s some dry skin around her elbow area, parts of her tail…hair is missing, just dry skin. Chewing around her paws and anal gland issues that she’s never had before. I think it’s food allergies. I don’t have lots of $ to figure out what it is exactly the problem is. Where do I start? I know the Canidae that she’s eating has the best products in it, do I go to lamb/rice combo? What other brands should I consider? If I do switch foods, what time frame should I expect to see any differences? Need advice!

try old mother hubbard… you really need to take her to the vet because she could have mange which is not related to food and is from a mite… and very bad and can spread to your other dogs.
