ParticipantI have found a high quality kibble that everyone can eat here. I have ten allergic dogs with a list of 15 allergens. Please keep in mind that all of our dogs have been allergy tested which makes things easier.
Dr. E’s buffalo limited ingredient potato and grain free kibble.
They are all doing very well on it. Have switched treats to Dr. Woofers vegie biscuits. They can also have the spaghetti and meatball flavor.
Don’t forget to read labels carefully on treat bags too!
Hope that’s of help to someone’s pup!

ParticipantAgreed, but in humans, leaky gut can also be caused by mast cells in the GI tract releasing mast cell mediators (histamines, etc.). Mast cells are everywhere in the body. This would be the same mechanism in the dog. So why it’s termed an intolerance, rather than an allergy, more or less escapes my logic.
I do agree that the standard treatment of steroids and prescription pet foods is not sufficient. They aren’t even things that I would consider doing when trying to solve a dog’s issues.

ParticipantThanks Patty, I’ll read up more. I did find the info on the Jean Dodds DVM website. She measures differently from serum, but I don’t see much that’s different. I’m a little perplexed, though, as the allergic response is still controlled in the dog by the mast cell, as it is in humans. In human medicine, the medical field doesn’t usually separate intolerance and allergies. They are all considered a histamine response, and that’s the same mechanism that activates in a dog, whether you are measuring IGG, IGA, IGM, or a complement cascade. Because I suffer from extreme histamine reactions myself, I’ve studied the mechanism in order to LIVE, as my reactions are downright life-threatening. Hmmm…..

ParticipantTHANK YOU for the heads up on Pinnacle Trout and sweet potato! Not a single allergen, and it’s readily available in the stores!
BLESS YOU!! I just got word a few minutes ago that my boy is ADOPTED!!!! One of my favorite deaf dogs in the kennel! Now I just have to find them an easier way to feed him, as not everyone has the bandwidth to feed raw. (I’ll try with them, though!)
December 8, 2013 at 11:12 pm in reply to: Anyone's dog allergic to PEAS? #29838 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantMy understanding is that allergies and intolerances come from a mast cell response, much as it works in the human body. Can you please direct me to some reading material? Mast cell mediators include histamine. In the human, GI symptoms, itching, etc are all mast cell mediator responses. (I have mastocytosis).
I frequently see hyperactivity, too, as a symptom of food allergies.
December 8, 2013 at 6:51 pm in reply to: Anyone's dog allergic to PEAS? #29819 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantI’m not sure how that works. I just know with my own allergies, that I can’t have eggs, chicken, and will react to down. I assume that the dogs are the same.
December 8, 2013 at 6:50 pm in reply to: Anyone's dog allergic to PEAS? #29818 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantI’ll check out the Pinnacle trout and sweet potato. Thank you!

ParticipantPerfect description…that’s pretty much what it smells like, too!
December 8, 2013 at 5:09 pm in reply to: Desperate! Eskie weight loss w/ Pancreatic Issues #29800 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantThanks, Patty. I didn’t realize that. He is getting a couple of tablespoons mixed in for taste/smell. I think that maybe the enzyme supplement has a sour taste. He only ate a partial meal without the addition of the canned food. It’s working and packing meat on his bones really fast.
December 8, 2013 at 5:05 pm in reply to: Anyone's dog allergic to PEAS? #29799 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantI would think that if he is allergic to chicken, that he would react to chicken fat, no?
December 8, 2013 at 4:03 pm in reply to: Allergy Information #29789 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantRead deeper into the label…..look for potato GLUTEN. Made from white potatoes. Some of the labeled sweet potato foods still have potato gluten in them.
December 8, 2013 at 4:01 pm in reply to: Pug stomach issues #29788 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantHas your vet tested for EPI? that would cause low B12. (Enzyme Pancreatic Insufficiency)
Have a little guy here that just went thru something very similar. His labs came back positive for EPI, and just a few short weeks later, he’s gaining weight, no runs, no stomach issues. We’re adding pancreatic supplement to his kibble.
December 8, 2013 at 3:58 pm in reply to: Allergies confusing me…PLEASE HELP! #29786 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantI rescue deaf dogs of all breeds. Allergies are really common. I highly recommend finding a vet that sends allergy tests out to Spectrum Labs. The results include food proteins, carbs, grasses, trees, and other common household issues like dust, etc. It’s been very helpful for us. Just wish finding a kibble for the allergic dogs was as easy…..some of our dogs are raw fed so we can control the ingredients.
December 8, 2013 at 3:53 pm in reply to: any supplements can be used to replace glucosamine for seniors? #29785 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantI use Superflex, which is a velvet antler supplement. The glucosamine and condrointin are naturally occurring. I also have been taking it myself since 2005. It’s GREAT for senior dogs, skin issues, musculoskeletal issues/injuries, and really helps with the pain from arthritis and hip dysplasia. http://www.natraflex.com
December 8, 2013 at 3:48 pm in reply to: Desperate! Eskie weight loss w/ Pancreatic Issues #29784 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantLosul just gave you some GREAT advice. Just went thru this with one of our deaf rescue dogs. I fed him some raw organ mix from http://www.greentripe.com, and we had a normal poop for the first time in months. Off to the vet to confirm by labs, and we knew we had a case of EPI.
He’s now back to high quality kibble easily available at the store with a bit of canned mixed in for taste. With a half tablespoon of added pancreatic supplement, let it sit for 25 min, and he snarfs it up.
After just a few weeks, he’s almost back to normal weight, no poop-eating, no counter surfing for food.
I have done the research. EnzymeDiane is the cheapest place to find the supplement, by far. You can also add raw pancreas to his kibble, available at http://www.greentripe.com.
December 8, 2013 at 3:40 pm in reply to: Anyone's dog allergic to PEAS? #29783 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityAngeldogs
ParticipantYep….have one big guy here that is allergic to peas, white potatoes, venison, chicken and turkey. Confirmed by allergy tests by Spectrum Labs, which I highly recommend if you are struggling with food issues and skin rashes.
You’d think that I’d have an easy time of finding him a kibble? Nope. I have been doing ingredients research on every brand of food that is relatively easy to find…..shocking! Just because it states sweet potatoes……well, I keep finding potato gluten or white potatoes on the same list of ingredients. Or LID foods that list lamb or beef as the protein source with chicken fat in them.
So far, after two days of reading ingredients on websites, I found ONE kibble: Canine Caviar Lamb and Pearl Millet.
I’m currently feeding him raw ground beef mixed with Sojos Grain Free, and being careful about treats, which are mostly raw beef bone treats.
Really frustrating that the names of the food indicate limited ingredients, but they are NOT.
