Dog food and allergies?

Question

My dog is eating Hills prescripton z/d ultra allergen-free dog food. It is very expensive and only available through the vet. Is there anything comparable that I can buy at the pet store?

Answer 1

My parents have a dog who has allergy problems. They feed him- I think the name on the bag is Nutri-One. It's something that Purina puts out.

If that doesn't work, there are a number of good dog food recipes that you can actually make yourself at home: A lot of these were discovered or made public after the dog food scare with the tainted chow.

Answer 2

i chose not to feed my dogs store bought food because all of it is basically crap. there are some brands that are better than other but science diet is considered to be one of the worst by true dog food journals (the ones not endorsed by dog food companies).
i feed a raw food diet with raw meat and bones with a few veggies thrown in. there are a lot of books about it. i am able to feed my dogs for about $2 a day (2 - 65 lb dogs).
