20 best dog food sheltie people with allergies
This is not a question that can be answered without knowing if your sheltie has environmental or food sensitivities and what those sensitivities are. A friend of mine switched her dog to lamb and rice (because chicken allergies aren’t as common as we believe, but nobody tries to eat chicken) and her dog is actually I really started to smoke because I was allergic to rice. So without knowing exactly what the allergy is, it’s just trial and error. A little at a time, up to 1 tablespoon per day.

Many dogs are allergic to chicken, turkey and even beef. My previous dog was allergic to everything. I did a test. Fish, lamb and venison were good choices.

Boiled chicken, rice, pumpkin, sweet potato. Everything is trial and error. You have to start little by little. Whatever foods your Sheltie can tolerate, gradually introduce the new food. On very rare occasions he poops all over his fur and vomits when her husband feeds him something I told him not to.Good luck.

Our Sheltie did well with carrots (raw, cold for snacking), and all kinds of squash and sweet potatoes (cooked and diced and to fill with other things). Never had an allergy, but the vet said those things didn’t affect his itching (thought it was an allergy that didn’t end up that way). Only Apokel helped.

I feed all my animals home-made raw food. I follow the RMF (rotating mono feeding) perpetual l protocol. Based on the ancestral wolf diet. My Sheltie (15.5 and suffering from pancreatitis and Cushing) eats fruit/vegetables about 5 days a week and meat, bones and liver (raw) once a week. It was the only eating style that helped with the problem.
