Askyourvet orlook online ata nice cat website.
One ofmydogs hada lot ofallergy problems. Shehadbeeneating cooked hamburger withherdry dog food. Wehavestoppedgiving herthehamburger,andshe’s much better.
I’m nota vet,butI wouldtry dog food withone type offlavor for2 weeks ata time andsee ifshegets better. Forexample,youcouldgive herlamb flavored food for2 weeks,andifshegets better,keep heronit. Ifshegets worse,change tobeef flavor for2 weeks orsomething likethat.
Somedog foods andtreats havemore thanone flavor mixed in. I wouldstick withfood thatjusthasone flavor ata time until youfigure out whatshemightbeallergic to.
Call yourvet andaskhimorhertorecommend a food,orasksomeone atthepet store. Goodluck!
Myparents dog hasthesame problem. Thedog wouldbeitchy andlose hair. MYmom switched toa dog food thathaslamb andrice. That’s whatthevet toldhertodo.
