My brother and SIL adopted a chunkster of a beagle from the humane society this weekend. He came with a Hill’s prescription diet ZD. The shelter just told them he has a “food allergy”. He has an appointment with their this week. The new guy got a bit of the other dog’s food today and developed a red rash on his belly.
So, the collective wisdom of COTH doggy owners… Any advice on store bought food outside of the ZD? Where they are, the ZD is pretty pricey. They feed their lab Wellness grain free and she does well on it. My dogs have always been on Orijen or Acana, but recently switched to Zignature when prices jumped from $65 to $85 a bag locally. They are doing fab on that one.
Wellness naturals is available locally to my brother. Is that a decent hypo food? Or any other suggestions? She’s found Zignature on Amazon they can ship to the house.
If it’s protein caused, they need to figure out which protein he’s allergic too. Or wheat, or ??? My SIL said she’d make his food if he needed it, but with two little ones, chickens, their organic gardening… I can just see her not needing one more chore like that if there is a healthy alternative.
