I have a question about my mini golden doodle, 3 1/2 years old, 20 pounds
She has allergies and is scratching and then bites herself. The Vet gave her Simplicef antiobiotic and it gave her loose stool and now diarrhea. She was eating Natural Balance chicken and Sweet potato and I add chicken breast that I buy at the market. My aunt who recommended you very highly suggested Caster & Pollack Organics, Chicken and Brown Rice which I am going to gie her 1/2 can – My vet prescribed Hills Prescription but I was not happy with ingredients.
Do you think the Organics is good? What about cooking for her, chicken and brown rice? My husband died recently and she is a rescue dog.

The diet change will only help if that is the source of the allergy. We recommend Heska testing to reliably determine the source of the allergy. Chicken and brown rice, along with a multivitamin/mineral supplement, would be considered hypo-allergenic only if your dog is not allergic to chicken. I have no personal experience with the Organic food you mention. You are right to read the label of all foods you consider, they are not always as advertised! The key to a hypo-allergenic diet is to have a unique protein source such as salmon, rabbit or venison, and a unique carbohydrate source such as brown rice or potatoes. We are using a Blue Diamond salmon based diet at our sanctuary which may meet you needs.
Good to know about more healthy options for the little ones.
