Have your Newfie allergy tested. It’s not cheap but worth it. My boy is allergic to peas and pea grain. Look at the ingredients on dog food. Peas and pea grains are at the top of the ingredients of most dog foods. I found a food that had them further down the list. He does quite well on that. Now if only I could remove grass, maple and oak trees from our property he’d be clear of his allergies. Lol.
