DVP L.I.D. Allergy formula

So, Dick Van Patten makes an Allergy dog food. yes, the dreaded kibble.. Since Ruby has kidney issues, and her BUN is always elevated, I decided to switch her to kibble to see if that has any bearing at all.. So we got Duck & Potato dry and canned food. Since being on the dry her allergies have subsided, her ears are not red, and she isnt itching as much. While i prefer raw feedings for my dogs, sometimes a dog just doesnt do well on raw, so the switch has to be made. DVP makes 3 allergy formulas - Duck & Potato, Venison & Potato, and Lamb & Potato. So far everyone that I know that has allergy dogs have raved about the DVP. so its worth a try.. in another month we are going for a blood test to see what her levels are now that she is on kibble.. hopefully they will come back down to normal so i can breathe a little easier..managing a dog with kidney issues is no picnic thats for sure, but once you figure out what to feed its easy..
