Goopy eyes and itchy ears

[Gibby816]

Hello. I have been feeding my EBD the Royal Canin dry food for bulldogs for about 4 months. I am seeing an increase in green glop in his eyes after sleeping and itchy ears- excessive rubbing on carpet/furniture. Also, prior to the food change, he lost fur in two patches on his sides. I am hoping to help him out with suggestions. I have been seeing ads for a supplement for the eye and itch problem. Has anyone tried something like that? Advice welcome, please. TIA

Hello, welcome to EBN. You just mentioned your problem, Royal Canin!

You will be visiting more and more your vet if you don’t get your dog off that brand. A lot of other members ask the same question as your dog, 75% we see dogs are on Royal Canin, Science Hill, Purina, Iams, etc. they are all kibbles full of grains. If you can’t do a raw diet and want to continue with kibbles, look into Zignature, Fromm, Acana…. Also buy raw liver at your grocery store, cut in small pieces, use about 1/4 cup per day for the first week ish then 1/2 cup daily. It will build his immune system. Use it as a topper. You can also use a couple tablespoons of either/or fermented sauerkraut from the fridge section, goats milk, Kefir……but do get off that kibble immediately. Read in the form about kibbles and you will see it’s not recommended. Also buy marrow bones as attached photos. Give it raw. It will keep him busy while building his gut flora.
