dog food and allergies

That seems like a lot more ingredients than I remember? I do know that my dog has done really well on it. The reason I liked it so much is because it had such few ingredients. I am wondering if they changed their formula? I am a big advocate of oils for dogs especially with skin problems. There are many choices. Salmon oil and olive oil are my two top picks. Also, one can go to the grocery store and buy canned salmon. Dog's love it and it is soo good for their coat. Because of some concerns around fish and pollution, it is a treat for my dogs not an every day choice.
I like the formulas like Wysong and Timberwolf butt they had soo many ingredients and due to Rory's conditions, skin problems at one time and now seizures, I needed a food that had less ingredients than more. His skin has been wonderful since I addressed it through home cooked food and my above regimen. His coat is gorgeous!
Of course, it is a crap shoot. One dog may respond really well to one formula and not another. For me, up until now the Regal and Wysong meat has worked very well.
Now due to Rory's seizures, I am taking him off all grain so we are trying Orijen.
I believe Wanda's dog had a problem with chicken so this would not be an alternative for her. Of course, Wanda you could look at either Timberwolf Ocean Blue, Natures Variety or Evo. I am not sure what the protiens are in these foods? I believe Timberwolf is mainly fish. Evo does have a high fat content so one needs to be careful not to over feed.
I was just sharing what worked for us with a simlar problem. Of course, one needs to read labels and feed what they think is best. Thank goodness we have soo many more choices today as one size sure doesn't fit all. Tullly
