Default Lab has allergies - Need Help!

As for the feeding two different foods. Lady has had developed allergies to
various things over the years. The first time I used the venison formula
because that is all the store had. The next time she had problems the vet
suggested the duck and potato which worked for her also.

She doesn't eat these foods constantly only when something pops up that is
causing a problem. When it does we use these to get her back to normal then
we re-introduce one thing at a time till we determine what is triggering the
reaction.

Yes the foods work for my dogs, and maybe they will for his. I was just
suggesting some ideas of what to use since there are not that many choices
on the market in prepared food to use for a dog that is allergic.

Natural Balance food, duck & potato or Venison & green pea. These
are the two allergie foods that I use for my dog and they work.


You mean they work for your dog. If Mike's dog is allergic to one or
more of the ingredients in the food, it will not work for him.

I'm also unsure why you'd feed him two different foods, if he has
food allergies. Why expose him to a novel protein unnecessarily?
Now you won't be able to use that food as Plan B, if he develops an
allergy to it.
