Hi all - I'm new here and not sure I'm even posting this the right way lol. So, I have an 11 month old English Bulldog girl named Zelda. She is the best. But she's itchy. Not terrible but noticeable. She's currently getting Cytopoint shots monthly and we have been trying different foods. I'd like to get her off the shots and stop her itchies. Right now she's shaking her head a bit and just has stared licking her paws. I don't want this to get worse, So I'm thinking it's time to switch her food. She's currently on Purina Pro Salmon (please no hate, her vet said to try)
When I brought her home from the breeder she was on Blue Buffalo chicken. I switched her to Purina chicken because I had heard of all of Blue Buffalos recalls. So her Vet had mentioned that her ears looked a little gunky at one appt and we switched to Purina Pro Lamb. Ears didn't clear up and we are on Salmon now.
We also had a stent of the hydrolyzed Purina and it was horrible. I could never fully switch her because it gave her the worst poops. So after reading and researching, I'm wanting to get her on a limited ingredient food with grain.
Also don't want to go broke.
What protein would you start at? She's done chicken, lamb and salmon.
She's almost out of food so it will be a perfect time.
I've read in here that Fromm is highly reccommended.. but that seems really expensive.
Obviously I'll do whatever needs done. Please no food shaming - people can get really mean when it comes to this, I love my girl and just want to give her the best life possible.
Thanks in advance for you help.
* Also want to add - she takes Simpirica Trio monthly
and we bathe her in Duoxo about every 2 weeks.
She also loves shredded cheese lol - it's the only thing I can bribe her with . So I need suggestions on treats too. She loves watermelon but it's out of season now. She gets no other "human food" that what I've listed.
