Hello Everyone??
Is it possible that my AB can have a chicken allergy?? Chief has had chronic ear infections and a red irritated belly for some time. The vet suspects it's a food allergy. Herrecently suggested that I buy a food with a single protein and single carbohydrate. I formerly fed her California Natural's Chicken Meal and Rice since she was a puppy; she's two now, but she was getting mild ear infections and red belly. My local food supplier suggested maybe it is a rice, corn or soy allergy. I switched to Innova Evo which did well for her weight and coat, but her ear infection and red belly became worse.Apparently, this food has whole chicken components..so my food supplier thinks this may be a chicken allergy especially beacuse her infections are more severe with this food.
I just recently am transitioning her to Sweet potato and Duck by Natural Balance, but she doesn't seem to like it at all. Also I notice a difference in her fur not being as healthy.
Any hints or suggestions?? If it's a chicken allergy i would like a food that is healthy for her, but that she will like eating. The TImberwolf brands look interesting such as the Dakota Bison.
Thanks for any help,
Tabatha
