| answered a question | I have yorkie terrier that licks and scratches until his hair comes out in patches, does anyone know what I can do? My dog has also been suffering from allergies and will chew his fur out... I purchased an allergy test from GROUPON of all places, for $45 and its called https://www.groupon.com/deals/immuneiq (IMMUNE IQ) and it takes a sample of the dogs saliva and hair. Then they test for reaction to all types of common ingredients in DOG FOOD and even grasses/molds. They emailed me a list of things my Dog is allergic to as well as things that he is NOT allergic to so now I am able to be fully informed when I purchase a dog food for him. The problem I'm still having is that Dog Food companies are not the most trustworthy and there have been studies showing that even though a dog food is supposed to be only "Turkey" it still often times contains Chicken, so as someone else mentioned: http://dogfoodadvisor.com (www.dogfoodadvisor.com) is a website i often times refer to before I decide to purchase any treats or food. The allergy test has been the biggest help in solving my dogs allergies and it is only a FRACTION of the cost of any test offered in a Vet's office and it has given me a HOLISTIC solution to cure him of his itchiness... I highly recommend you look into it! |
| answered a question | Limited Ingredient Food Recommendations? My dog also has an extremely long list of food allergies and I was able to find a well priced limited ingredient diet on http://PetFlow.com - I forget the exact name of it, but it was something along the lines of "Dr. E's the Good Life" ? and I used a promo code: VPS20 and got 20% plus free shipping. Hopefully you'll find something useful there! |
