Question
QUESTION: my pitbull is about 1 1/2 . male american/brindle mix. he started scratching and itching excessively about 1 yr ago. when we took them to the vet she said (after testing) it more than likely was an allergy to something outside. it has worsened and now his eyes are hairless around them. loss of appetite, and avtivity has decreased. beniful is his food, when he eats.any suggestions?

ANSWER: Yes, Erica - I can help your boy... We can make some food changes and add some natural supplements.  Would you like my help and suggestions?
Are you in the USA... If not, let me know what country you are in.
Thanks

QUESTION: is science diet food good? which food? what supplement? how often?thanks a ton!!!!

Answer
Your vet will say that it is a good food but it is not...It is just a fair food.  The Beneful food is not good...about as poor as the Science diet..Sorry,
But I have good news - We can help your boy;

Yes, please go to the pet store and buy some Wellness CORE or Innova EVO brand of dog food - must be one of them because they are GRAIN free... I think he has food allergies AND environmental allergies ( grass, dirt, trees, dust)

Also, at the pet store buy some Pure Salmon Oil - this will be liquid - Give him 1 tablespoon per day mixed into his food.

YOU will be giving him the new food - Mix the old food ( beneful) and the new food - a 50/50 mix for 2 weeks - Then, you may go 100% the new Grain free food.

I have some supplements that I would like you to purchase from two different companies.

1.  NuVET Plus - this is one of the BEST pit bull supplements in the USA...
Loads of bullies are on this - Cost is only .55 cents per day -

a WAFER treat - Helps to fight off allergies.
