Hello, I am the owner of a mix-breed named Grim. His sister, who is owned by a friend of mine had a doggy DNA test done and found Blood Hound, Sharpei and Manchester Terrier as the mix...I don't know how accurate those things are but boy can I see the Blood Hound and the Sharpei! Any way - the reason that I have found myself here is because Grim has an allergy problem.
Our vet acknowledged the allergy, but didn't really get into solving it except to say give him some Benedryl. We used to feed Beneful - salmon formulation and he didn't have the allergy...then my husband was reading how bad Beneful was and we switched to Bil Jac (thinking that it was better - for us it is a local company - which gave us some comfort)
But now he has itchy skin! Poor Grim, our other dog can eat anything without problems but is very picky... neither of them like lamb or chicken, they seem to prefer beef (as a flavor)
So here is my question - Is it true that sensitive dogs do better on a fish based diet? and should I feed Grim fish based food and MIDI (our other dog) the Bil Jac?
