Which brand of natural kibbles from your site's list would you suggest for a dog with allergies?

Full Question:
Cindy,

Three months ago we rescued a three-year-old GSD. He was starving to death, because his owner had not been giving him medication for pancreas insufficiency. He had other serious health issues including allergies. He is recovering well, but even on a diet of Hill's Prescription Diet ZD for food allergies, he is still itching. Which brand of natural kibbles from your site's list would you suggest for our Julius von Narnia?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Cynthia

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
For a dog with allergies one of the main things is to remove things that are known to be hard for all dogs to deal with and the number one offender is grain. I would try a grain free kibble like Innova Evo or Wellness Core. It’s hard for me to recommend kibble to any dog, because I don’t believe it’s suitable food but grain free is better than regular kibble.

I would also not vaccinate this dog or use chemicals on him. Our vet would write an exemption for a dog with pancreatic insufficiency, and we would not be required to give yearly vaccinations. You may want to find a holistic vet who will look at your dogs whole health picture and know that his immune system needs to be supported and not stressed with vaccines.

I would also recommend these 2 books, Shock to the System and Vaccine Guide for Dogs & Cats.

Dogs with pancreatic problems can live great lives with the enzymes and good management.
