Hello from Alberta!

[Angusmama]

We are the proud parents of a 9 month old EB named Angus! He is an absolute joy but I will admit that we often feel lost with all the questions we have about him and how best to care for him. There is an amazing amount of information here and such supportive people!! I know already that I will be changing his food ASAP as he has signs of allergies that I didn’t even know WERE allergies. I look forward to chatting with everyone.

Hey there neighbour! Where in AB are you? Since you're in Canada especially AB where Orijen n Acana is from, stick to Acana. Start with the one protein bag so like that you can eliminate the protein if he has any allergies towards it. I have both on raw n Acana. Get yours off RC asap!. Nyala is 2yrs old no allergies as I did a bag a month and she's fine. Duke is 9months old him too so far all good. Doesn't mean your dog will have allergies either. I built Nyala's immune system as a pup on home cooking then gradually added Acana. But like mentioned both also on raw. Nice to have you on board! WELCOME! !!

Hi there! Thanks for the welcome! We are in Parkland County - close to Edmonton - you?? I so appreciate the advice re: food choices. Our breeder recommended RC and we thought Gus was doing OK on it but after reading through some of the posts on allergies I wonder if some of the things we thought were normal (hair loss, runny eyes, tear stains, licking paws etc.) may actually be signs of allergies! We had a really great vet who went on mat leave shortly after Gus was neutered and the new vet is lovely but doesn’t have experience with EB. I have some questions regarding weight loss - do you think it would be better to start a new topic in a more appropriate section? This is all pretty new to me!! Thanks again for the warm welcome - I love what a great community this is!!!

Im central Red Deer. All these issues Gus is having is from RC. Start a new thread under nutrition. You'll get more response. And you can also read in here. Tons on nutrition. But really get him off RC immediately.
