    Default I know Max's allergies!

    Max is allergic to many grasses, weeds, trees and Pork, Milk, Lamb, Brewers yeast and carrots. I'm trying to find dog food that doesnt contain these ingredients but it is very difficult. Any suggestions???
    I LOVE my pugs!

    How about making your own? There are a number of internet resources and books you can consult, and you can modify it to meet Max's needs!

    If the fish and swt potato is wellness, my Salvador had a bad reaction to it. It just depends on the individual dog's allergies. It can take awhile to discover it all.
    I found Salvador's allergy tests weren't that accurate. What worked for him, was giving him a raw diet and adding things very slowly, one at a time.
    Good luck finding a food that works for Max.

    I'm switching him from Solid Gold Wee Bits to Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish... his vet and I suspect he has food allergies.
    He was on Wellness as a puppy, but hated it. - I think the pieces were too big.
