Simply Nourish: Fisherman’s Finest. I use it because the only other option for Lucy is prescription Royal Kanin Ultamino. She is allergic to all meat proteins except fish, rabbit, and duck. She is also allergic to potatoes and a lot of grains. This mix is the only dog food I could find that didn’t have any ingredients to which Lucy is allergic.

It took me a while to find the right balance but now I cook the following tor my boy Frankie Breakfast : cooked turkey mince Dinner: cooked white fish (Basa fillets) and broccoli. He has no grains, and his treats are a canine Beef Jerky. He also has a probiotic supplement to treat his gut and help with yeast overload. He’s a happy, healthy little 5 year old after 2-3 years of searching for answers.

Homemade food, ground beef or chicken with dehydrated veggie mix and grain free treats or fruits in season like apples, bananas, watermelon is a fave. Also plain Greek yogurt and frozen green beans . I’ve done this for over 10+ years now…too many preservatives in regular foods.

My dog is 12. She’s had allergies for years. We had her on duck and bean until they stopped making it. Now she’s having pancreas spells so the vet has her on Purina Pro Plan EN food. She’s not to have anything else. The vet said some pugs are allergic to potato in food.
