Doodlecocklove asked:[Help] suspected food allergies... what’s the BEST food? [help] Can anyone in the UK recommend a dog food for a puppy who has suspected allergies. Runny eyes, blood in stool after treats (we have stopped this now) sneezing and yucky ears. We changed to hypoallergenic and things have improved massively and finally having better stools but what is the best dog food out there? We have been to the vets and had stool samples, antibiotics, eye drops and ear drops... nothing worked until we changed the food! We have been to a few different vets and they just don’t seem interested. Is it possible that it’s just a sensitive puppy tummy?
Trumanhazzacatface replied:I find that fish based proteins tend to be less allergenic than mamal protein but this is purely based on my personal observation. The best bet is to consult [this website](https://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/) that is all about dog food available in the UK. They list all of the ingredients, nutritional value, country of origin and price. It's really good to compare your current food and then compare to other dog food available on the market.

Clare L. asked:Recommendations of Greyhound feed please. Hi guys we have two lovely greys aged 2. We currently feed Wagg Sensitive but I am not sure they are getting all they need from this - lots of throughput (not loose). Looking online there is a mindblowing amount of information. Thought i'd cracked it with one company who stated 30% protein, all natural, only to find this was an average over the puppy feed 50%+ and normal 20%, pah. Tried and tested recommendations would be really welcome xxCarol B. replied:There's a fab website http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/ has got every dog food on there and ratings! I use Millie's wolfheart and tails for my dogs (cockers) ;) good luck x

Lynn S. asked:Can anyone recommend a consistently good puppy food, I've been giving Beau (lab) beta puppy as that was what used to when I got him, however the kibble isn't always the same if that makes sense, the first few bags were a dark slightly oily and dense texture which he loves, and twice now I've had a bag of paler lighter texture kibble which he has to be coaxed into eating. I buy big bags as it works out cheaper. I'm thinking of changing his puppy food if anyone can recommended a good dry food, thanksAilsa K. replied:I find this site very useful but it doesn't tell you if your dog is going to like your choice! http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/

Emma W. asked:Anyone recommend a good quality dog food? ThanksClare G. replied:Go on www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk you can put in budget etc and feed the best you can. 🐶 I always look for a food with an actual meat as the first ingredient. Anything with wheat ,maize or corn etc imo I wouldn't feed as they are just fillers and of no benefit to your dog

Ffion T. asked:Is there a major difference in price when feeding raw? Have a yorkie cross currently on iams, started looking at gentle, natures menu etc, can anyone recommend a good brand thats not too expensive? Ive also got a 10 week old chihuahua which id like to get some better puppy food forAimee B. replied:I like All About Dog Food - http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/ let's you filter by price per day and gives you an indication of the quality/nutritional value of each food. I believe there are a few good RAW/BARF groups on FB - maybe you could ask there to find out their average monthly costs? (Will depend on size of dog of course!) Currently we're feeding Eden, pup is healthy, bright and active at the moment with small, solid poos. Pleased with it so far but it's early days.

Rachel P. asked:Hi, can I get abit of advise please? My gsd bitch is just short of 6 months, when we brought her home she couldn't eat any dog food as it didn't agree with her, after advise from the vet she was on chicken n pasta for 2 months. We've now moved onto dried food but herRhiannon H. replied:You want to avoid anything like bakers, wagg, pedigree, supermarket own foods as they're full of rubbish. Good foods include wainwrights, burns, James wellbeloved, Arden grange, barking heads, Canagan, royal canin, Lily's kitchen, fishmongers finest. I personally use wainwrights and it's fab :) nice solid poos and its full of good stuff. They (and james wellbeloved) also do a grain free version which is great if your dog can't digest various grains. This website is fab for comparing dog foods, the higher the star rating the better the food. http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk

Sharon C. asked:Ok I have a question, I have a 4yr old Border Terrier and a 14wk old Toy yorkiepoo. They are both being fed on Hills Science plan dry food, with a very small about of wet mixed in, (approx a teaspoon). My Border will go poop twice a day but my Yorkiepoo up to 6. I've seen loads of comments about a raw diet and how it is so much better. I would like to try it but don't know where to start? Have no idea of the cost and a little concerned as my Border has been known to have trouble with certain foods, even treats, he gets a lot of wind and will suffer with really bad breath. Any help and advise would be appreciated. Thanks.Fiona B. replied:Have a look at http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk it has a key that shows you what is grain/ cereal free etc...

Jess W. asked:Another 'which food' question but you guys have some great advice so please help! I'd love to feed raw but we have no freezer space so this is not an option for us, please don't suggest it, i would if we could. We have a spaniel (21kg) with a reasonably sensitive stomach, runny stool and such. She's on Skinners - medium success. We are soon to be taking on a rescue from Romania too. I would like them to be on the same food, that has no additives or E number and is sourced carefully and not full of junk. I'd like to feed as natural as possible in a kibble form. Is there anything that fits the bill? Currently spending around £25-30 per dog per month on food. Similar ball park would be great.Stephanie M. replied:http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/

Ted's C. asked:Food for thought...do you know what you're feeding your dog and the effects it can have on their health and behaviour? Even more, did you know that cheaper, more commercial dog foods can end up costing more per portion than slightly more expensive alternatives that have a much better nutritional value? We'd highly recommend taking a peek at the packaging and if in any doubt talk to your vet or an animal nutritionist who will be able to offer some great advice. Here's a quick article that details some of the negative effects of the UK's second best selling brand of dog food...definitely food for thought! We'd love to hear any stories about your experiences so please feel free to share them... http://www.doglistener.co.uk/bakers-pedigree-dogfood
Vikki N. replied:I couldn't agree more. Before we got Keith Moon we researched A LOT on dog food, prompted mainly by the fact that my mum's poor dog has developed a very sensitive stomach over the years and could barely pass a solid stool. She's on a diet of mainly chicken and rice now. It's definitely worth looking around at the packaging as you said and also checking regularly that it hasn't changed at all. I actually ended up taking a lot of food back to the shop as the recipe had changed from what was posted on the website - the grain content had increased a considerable amount. Sites such as www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk are also a great help. We pay around £60 per month for Keith's food (one massive bag of kibble and wet pouches), but it's worth it; he's a healthy boy, not overly hyper (only when you come to the door ) and his stools are, for the most part (unless he's been at the street food), consistent. On a similar note, I've just been delivered a 1.5 kg sample bag of Fish4Dogs Finest Salmon Kibble. Keith doesn't eat this so if any of your other puppies / dogs do, the bag is theirs

Marsha W. asked:Can anyone give me any tips for easing my dog's itching? He's a one year old Labrador, has been to the vet a few times and they just say it's probably allergies... He's had 2 courses of Apoquel and Malaseb shampoo, and I currently give him an antihistamine each day (as vet said this was ok). He doesn't have fleas etc, he licks his belly and wee area and has started on his legs, and I notice when I pick up his poop, there are even hairs in that! I'm putting a little olive oil on his food (which is a dry food), and I'm going to give him some oily fish at times too... Does anyone have any suggestions of natural ways of helping him, rather than tablets/medication etc. Will book in with vet again this week but not sure how much they can help... He is insured so not worried about costs.... Thanks.Vicki P. replied:This is also a very good website will give you lots of info on the different foods. Kibble, wet and raw foods are scored on their ingredients. The lower the score the poorer the food. http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/
