Re: Pet owners who try to dictate you pet care

Ack, pet allergies are a pain. My dog has a chicken allergy and it took awhile to find that out.

My vet put my dog on a hypoallergenic diet for two weeks and had us reintroduce key ingredients in the dry food she'd been eating, so we could find out what ingredient she was reacting to. Once chicken was singled out I was told to put her on a limited ingredient food (didn't matter if it was canned, dry, or a mix). She's on a dry food diet with lamb as the only source of protein and she's been fine ever since.

Mixing canned and dry food shouldn't be a problem but personally I would check to see if the protein sources match, so that you're not throwing TOO many ingredients into the mix. Also it takes some time for dogs to adjust to new food even if they have super-hardy stomachs. If watery stool is the only issue your dog has with the new diet she's probably still adjusting and it should go away eventually.

This website has a list of good hypoallergenic dog foods (both dry and canned) if you think a change of canned food will make your dog more receptive to it.

I hope your dog feels better soon! Allergies suck.
