Hi all! Remi's allergies have been getting out of hand. He's starting to lick his paws again (which is something we noticed he was doing while on chicken and beef) and is getting ear infections and is scratching a lot. Definitely smelly. Always had an issue with tear stains. I know he's allergic to life itself and it's definitely worse since Spring hit this year.
So far we believe he doesn't do well on Chicken, Beef and Salmon. He's currently on NVI Lamb and we've started to slowly convert him to Fromm's Pork & Peas. From what many of you say, it's almost like miracle dog food. I'm a little nervous because if he has allergies on the NVI Lamb limited diet, is this really going to fix him?! He's been on the NVI Lamb since he was 4 months old. He just turned 1 year this month.
As I was researching food this morning, I started reading about food rotation. Some say you should do it and any expert who says otherwise is just trying to fear you into brand loyalty. What if your dog has a sensitive stomach? Or allergies? And you're on a food that is working for him?
I'm more of a don't fix what ain't broken kinda gal, but I certainly don't want to deprive my pooch of the nutrients he needs.
Thoughts from everyone?? I just feel like I would totally be wreaking havoc on poor Remi.
