Canidae Platinum

anything here look like an allergy? Mister has been on a raw meat and bone and offal only diet for a few months now and thrived but with him licking the kid, we wanted to supplement with a kibble of some sort. i accidently ended up with a bag of platinum so Mister still gets his raw meals 4 days a week but 3 days a week he gets kibble. since starting this he has gotten the itchies back. ive fed alone- lamb, loads of chicken, beef, pork, talapia, salmon (cooked gutted), egg, deer, turkey, corning game hen with no allergic reaction. rosemary and sage are frequently part of what i cook for us and he gets as a treat such as the left overs from our chicken are used in his training. corn has shown no allergy but ive not fed him large amounts of it. i have a salsa he digs that has corn in it though.... Jeffrey throws it at him sometimes.... i dont cook enough rice to know. i guess i cook it up and feed mornign feedings and go back to the raw thing??

any ideas?

THANKS!!

This is fairly far down in the ingredients list to be of much concern but I hate it when they do this anyway. This "Saccharomyces Cerevisiae " is yeast.

Rice would be unusual but not unheard of. Ceili can't eat too much of it without getting indigestion.

Why would you want to add yeast to your dogs food? I think you are just asking for problems.

Have you fed any of the meats you mentioned cooked or only raw? It's not unheard of for a dog to be fine with a meat when it's raw, but have problems when it's cooked.
