So Penny has been on Blue Buffalo wilderness Salmon since we rescued her but with her seasonal flank alopecia we talked to the general vet about possible food allergies and she put her on the Hills Z/D for skin issues as a food trial. We have seen no change in the 8 weeks she has been on it, but both her and chihuahuas love it.
Bristol has been on a medically prescribed canned food diet- royal canine gastric low fat since she was 6 months to aid with regurgitation issues until we went through all evaluations and had the surgery. I can switch her to kibble and her internist said no need for the Z/d as it is expensive and for her unless it is just easier to have all dogs on same food.
When I asked about Fromms the internist seemed indifferent she said they are small company they have had a pretty big recall and they don't have as much research as what is done for royal canine and Hills
But for the most part as a community you all are not fans of the two the internist recommended.
I wonder if it is in the vets interest to plug a brand?
Also there seems to be even discussions on here as far as the flavor of Fromms -some dogs don't do well with beef frittata, others allergic to chicken, while some allergic to salmon. If we were to make the switch is there a flavor that seems to do well for all not causing allergic reactions so we don't have to go through trial and error with all the flavors?
I know everyone has their own opinion, I am just looking for insight as picking the best options for two Bulldogs with two different issues and sweet little chihuahuas that seem to have stomachs of steel
