Dog_Horse_Girl Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I got a sample bag not long ago. It gave my greyhound a badly upset tummy. But I've just tried it with my allergy girl this morning and we'll see what happens. She's been on the euk naturally wild fish formula but since it was recalled, I've been giving her mostly raw with the occasional tinned fish meal (eg sardines, mackerel). Would like to keep her on raw...but she's only able to tolerate turkey, roo or fish. So following this is quite expensive where I live ATM. The euk isn't cheap either but she was doing very well on it when all else was failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt13b Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks for your reply. I have been mixing eggs, tuna, mackeral and sardines with her meals too to spice them up and disguise the flaxseed that I mix with it (she hates the flaxseed), but not all at once. I add one of the above to each of her meals on a rotation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfin Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 From memory, Advance Sensitive Skin contains corn, which causes my itchy dog to fall to bits. If you want to use Advance, I have found the Turkey and Rice to be better for skin. Otherwise I have been very happy with Artemis or Eagle Pack (Holistic Select) Anchovy variety.

matt13b Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ok thanks. I'll keep an eye on her to see if she itches more or less.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaxseed is an allergen to a lot of dogs despite many vets recommending it for skin issues. Fish oil is often tolerated better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt13b Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 The breeder i got her from gave it too me and I heard it was good for their coats. I dont plan on getting more once it has run out but thought I might as well use what I was given.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaxseed oil also shouldn't be fed continually - every other month or in a blend is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
