Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hi all! First, let me say that I have had a HIGHLY allergic dog for 10 years. She is allergic to grasses, fragrance, dust, etc. She is even allergic to CATS!! Yes, you *heard* me right! >) Her hair falls out if she gets around cats. Anyway, she itches and scratches, and gnaws the fur off of her backside if she is sensitive to something. We have tried everything known to man to help her with only mild results. Recently, we met with a Rottweiler breeder who suggested to us that a large part may be due to the food she eats. He explained that most of the commercial dog foods are filled with corn (ground corn, corn meal, etc) and dogs can't digest corn which can lead to LOTS of pooping, digestive problems, and allergies. So, willing to try anything (she'd had a reaction at that time that had been ongoing for about 3-4 wks, complete with no fur on the backside), we switched her food to a brand with NO corn in it. It's a brand called Premium Edge (here's the website if you want to check it out - http://www.premiumedgepetfood.com/DogFormulas.html) & since we've switched her food, we have noticed a dramatic decrease in her sensitives. Her fur has even grown back! Now, we still give her a Benadryl a day, but all in all, the change in food has been great...(not to mention less waste! >) )! In case you are interested in purchasing the food, we get it at www.petfooddirect.com. Just a suggestion from something that has worked for me....take it or leave it, but hope it helps! >) Have a blessed day! Always in faith, Kati in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
