My pup Gizmo has alot of food allergies. Chicken being one of them.
I can't remember, is Wellness Grain Free or is it just the CORE Wellness that's grain free?

Jada is allergic to chicken and grain. I have to feed her a limited ingredient diet due to her allergies which present as itching and tummy issues.

i am in the process of switching her over completley to natures variety salmon which is grain free - the wellness is not. but i am also thiking that i might need to cut out the chicken too in case thats the cuplrit. ive been cooking her beef and fish and ive also switched to raw freeze dried treats that are also chicken and grain free. i am looking for a good probiotic too for her skin issues. her vet has always given her anitibiotics which i think might be making it worse over time and thats its causing yeast issues - hence her skin problems. i also ordered a shampoo with Miconazole Nitrate and Chlorhexidine Gluconate to try. my yorkie is 12 yrs old and in good health - if i can just get this skin healthy! has anyone heard of the heartworm meds to cause skin issues? thanks

Our Little Leo is Deathly allergic to chicken. He's on a beef freezedried raw diet. We can't seem to find a kibble that has no chicken.

Our little Kinder was allergic to chicken but she was constantly getting diarrea. She also got camplobacter infection a few times so my vet recommended no more chicken. We have been feeding her Fromms Whitefish and Potatoe she loves it. Every morning I also sprinkle a little Forti flora on her food which our vet recommended. Kinder is doing fine now. Hope this helps. Susan

Hot Rod is allergic to chicken. When we got him at 4ish months old, his skin was so dry and flakey. He was on Royal Canine puppy. If you look at most puppy foods, they have chicken. Not realizing this, we kept switching foods but they all had chicken.

We had also gotten a medicated shampoo and conditioner from the vet which helped alot but he was still flakey.
