I took my Charlie to allergy vet and ran gamut of test. Was finally ready to put him on daily shots, when I went to inquire about having them made up my vet told me about a new drug called atopica, it is like a miracle drug, he still has a bout now and then but it is much milder than he ever had before and it will only last an hoiur or so instead of weeks on end. Charlie was tested and found to have allergies to corn and tomatoes(many healthy dog foods contain tomatoes) and strawberries and certain kinds of molds on these items, He has contact allergies as well as food allergies.

He eats canidae(they have a lamb and rice formulas as well as chicken and rice, he also eats their canned food, and I use nutros natural choice small puppy bites
Chicken meal rice and oatmeal formula(might have formula without chicken, not sure) Also have fed the allergy formula fish and sweet potatoe by Natural Balance. I do alot of cooking as well, chicken hearts and gizzards boiled and potatoe and rice with it or scrambled eggs and sometimes stewing beef that i mix with his dry food. I know this is frustrating, but ther is hope.
Don't give up!
