allergy

Dear friends, it is now almost 3 months I started home cooking for my dog. As he had awful allergy, I had to go for very limited component diet. His allergy expressed in severe shedding, interdigital cysts, red runny eyes, red lips and cheeks, sores in nose rope and area under eye. The worst...

That's very uncharacteristic for him. He's been doing very well on Apoquel and rarely ever scratches. Knowing how quickly a waxy dirty ear can turn into something nasty he got a thorough ear cleaning and yes, his right ear was ready for maintenance. All is good now. I encourage everyone to...

Fezzik has been having a lot of problems with kibble or the environment. I'm not sure which and since he is under 2, allergy testing is not advised. His face and paws can become a deep pink. I am taking a look at the cleaners I use, but I am also taking a look at the food. Currently he is on...

Bella is a sweet but timid 7 year old English bulldog. She has allergies that are controlled with a special diet and monthly shots. She is good with dog-smart children who are not too rowdy with her. She is also good with calm dogs who do not overwhelm her. She's looking for a home, preferably...

I've been feeding my 5yr old female on raw for while with good results. Most of my blend is made up of chicken, i'd say 70% of it. I notice she licks at her feet alot and I'm thinking she may have a chicken allergy. So I want to switch to more of a beef diet but beef is very pricey. I am able to...

ABOUT MILES Do you want all of the bouncy fun of a puppy in a fully trained package? If so, Miles could be just the dog for you! He is a 6 year old English Bulldog who is neutered, house trained, crate trained and UTD on shots. He's extremely sweet and affectionate and GREAT with other dogs...

Hello everyone! Bruce my old year old bulldog started to get scabs on his back when we moved to Virginia from NH. Even while on antibiotics the scabs have continued although slightly better. I'm starting to lean towards a food allergy. He's eating Taste of The Wild Pacific Stream recipe. I...

Yes, I'm doing this! Started home cooking for Tank. It is our third day on home cooked food and at least what concerns his stomach, food works well for him. His tummy isn't upset and his poops were good so far. Why I decided to go home cooking/raw? I am tired. Tired of his skin issues, unstable...

Hey guys, just adding another chapter to the saga of buff, weve been off and on prednizone for along time now and were trying to get off it again for good but buff is already starting to itch alot and were still on the weening off stage. I have read alot of the allergy and itch treatment...

Hello all! I have a 7 1/2 yo English Bulldog, Brutus. We have been through the ringer this past year with allergies. We had been on Natural Balance formulas for years (grain free, chicken free, potato free, limited ingredients...) with occasional allergy issues. We started seeing a dermatologist...

My english bulldog is developing some type of rash, I think it might be food allergy someone accidentally fed some salmon food from walmart so I was thinking it might be that. What are some solutions to this problem?

My Red has spots all over. I took him to the vet they shaved one spot gave antibiotics and allergy pills. The itching is better but I keep finding more spots He is two years old and has never had this problem before. I was gone on vacation and he was watched by my sister who has two Bulldogs...

When i hug my bully or if he kisses me my arms, neck and chin are breaking out in 1/4 bumps all over. I take allergy pills and it goes away but it didnt happen until last night and today. Do you think he has a yeast problem? Or something?

Hi All, It's been awhile. Our Daisy has been doing great with the exception of 3 ear infections this year. First one was in November/December and was probably our fault, a little water may have gotten in her ear at bath time. Second one was July 1. Vet did the same thing as last time and...

About two years ago my bulldog starting to get what we thought were scrapes on his paws. I took him to the vet for his yearly shots and the vet told me that they were actually due to his allergies. We first tried to put him on allergy dog food with antibiotics. We tried that for a while and it...

Hey Everyone! I am on the hunt for a fun birthday cake recipe for my Franky's 1st birthday party in October! Pumpkin ones would be neat for the occasion since it will be Halloween themed!!! I am just beyond excited!!! The thing is, I'm researching him for possible food allergies right now, just...

My Bully Layla is 11 years and old and thankfully has lived most of her life without many of the typical bully issues related to skin. She has only been our bully the last two years (we adopted her form a rescue). However we do know she has a long history of scooting and dragging related to...

Hi all! We've been back and forth with the vet and I think I narrowed it down to allergies (I think..). It started this year around March. I noticed her hair randomly will fall out in small clumps. She's doesn't seem like she's in pain but will clinch if you touch or come close to touching the...

So now we too know what a hotspot looks like. Took Castor to the vet as he has itchy ears and has lost some fur on the top of his head and it turned out that apart from a minor ear infection (no antibiotics needed, just daily cleaning) he has developed a hotspot and they shaved the back of his...

I am new to this site and 1st want to thank you (all) for the wealth of knowledge I have found thus far. I landed here specifically due to my Bronx having severe allergies. We have him on a rabbit/duck food and he is taking Apoquel. Allergies flared up huge again and he is licking and...
