Strictly anecdotal, but my GSD got horrible skin/ear infections even on grain free food. Sometimes it’s not the grain, it’s the protein. In his case, I hypothesize it was chicken. We switched him to Royal Canin skin support, which is primarily whitefish and rice, and he’s doing great. Any chicken treats, however, cause him to start biting his toes again.[/QUOTE]
Understood. We chose to try grain-free first, as that was eliminating one thing at a time, and if that didn’t work, we would proceed to figure out what it might be in regards to the protein. I think quite a few protein issues are with chicken, no?
We happened to switch to grain-free salmon, so it could’ve been the protein, could’ve been the grains, we’re not sure because the switch worked, and we aren’t going to investigate further! haha!
So that is why I had suggested trying grain free, to see if that cleared it up. If not, investigate further.
