    We have been under treatment for yeast from a veterinary dermatologist for four months now and all I can tell you is it is a process of elimination of cause as well as treatment. Since my boy was under a year the first time we went she was sensitive to this and we started with a vinegar solution, then moved to topical foams and shampoos before trying an anti-fungal 3 x week in month four. They can be persistent if you can’t find the cause. He has zero environmental allergies at this moment, but a high storage mite allergy which we discovered in testing. We have adjusted for that and all his itchiness, runny nose and breathing issues are gone, but he still has the yeast feet although they have gone from a 3-4 to a 1-2 on the scale. If he has not improved to 0-1 by next month we will put him on a two ingredient prescription diet made with either rabbit or kangaroo since he has had no exposure to those unless I can find venison in abundance to do homecooked. We are still hoping this is all caused by a weakened gut from 3 rounds of antibiotics before he was 7 months old for an upper respiratory infection, persistent staph, then bronchitis which we now know the bronchitis issues was caused by his storage mite allergy.

    Thank you for the response. We switch exclusively between the turkey/sardine and duck and I have not noticed any changes on the ones we get purchasing at two different stores. We are having to stay away from anything with rabbit, venison or kangaroo in it as we may have to do a food trial with our boy and he has never had those. He can’t have pork, beef or chicken at the moment. Even eating 20 percent combined with zignature we go through about 3-4 large bags of Primal a month and my husband can’t stomach the raw patties. The Primal has been a life saver for us as he has a high scoring storage mite allergy confirmed by testing and we are having to freeze his kibble as soon as we open bag. He quit eating it entirely until we added it. We will looking into other options entirely once we determine if he also has a food allergy involved.

    Did you ever get a response on this? I feed these two flavors most often and have not noticed anything with our bags being different.
