My yellow lab is two years old and has bad allergies. I was told to switch his food and everything that I have tried isn’t working.. He scratches his eyes raw, licks his paws raw, and chews/nibbles on his body. He also licks his butt raw as well. I am thinking it might be Atopic Dermatitis but I am not sure. I was hoping another lab owner has gone through what I am going through right now and has advice on what to do, or what type of food he should be eating.. I would appreciate any advice out there about this problem. I am affaird that one day he is going to scratch his eye ball if i don’t solve this problem soon.. Please Help

I tried California Natural and now Eagle Pack Holistic for puppies. Still having problems with loose stools. They thought it could have been a bacterial infection. But now not so sure.
I am consulting with my vet (love her) but she does not always recommend good dog foods.
I know there are grain free foods, but I have not been able to find formulas for puppies. The adult food formulas look much too low in fat and protein.
My fella is a 4 month old Basset Hound and I am so frustrated with the situation (not him)! He has not been tested for allergies. We actually have not even discussed that at this point. She wants to give it a few more days because his last dose of antibiotics (for the bacterial infection they thought he had) was last night. It is also a stool firmer. They had him on some canned Science Diet ID formula (I hate science diet) for 4 days to help kind of purge his system. It was a very mild food but one they said they would not want him to be on permanently. It’s first ingredient is water and I don’t want to feed canned inclusively.
Any suggestion or thoughts are welcome.
Thank you!
(PS. I will not feed a raw diet. Much too time consuming for me)

Food Suggestions For Dogs With Food Allergies.?

We recently brought our dog to the vet for his allergies (he’s been on Benadryl for about 6 months) and since he has not responded to the antihistamine treatment the vet suggested putting him on a food trial. We have to switch to a food that is completely (down to the last ingredient ) different from any food we’ve give him in the past. We have only fed him Iams puppy and Science Diet puppy dry food. I am looking for any suggestions on dog foods that have a short list of ingredients (less filler stuff) and don’t contain chicken, beef, corn, or the other really common dog food ingredients. I am also willing to cook for my dog if necessary so any links to good sites with recipes for dogs would be great too!! Any suggestions at all would help me start looking for a healthier food source for our dog. There are so many foods out there that a few starting points would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
