One of our ‘mutts’ has always been extra sensitive but last fall his food manufacturer changed their packaging and recipe. In their new recipe they added Fish Oil, before we knew it the little guy had a nasty skin infection and reeked! We tried the elimination diet, ended on a prescription diet with Apoqual daily. The little guy still itches and still gets sick. Our vet says it’s not a Fish sensitivity, yet he didn’t have problems until introduced to Fish and his prescription dog food also has Fish oil (super low).
I am surprised even today how few options there are for dog food without Fish oil. When have even looked at fresh food delivered and even that has fish oil. Crazy the manufacturers ever switched to it for heart health.
