Dog food allergies

Question
I know everyone is upset over the recent dog food scare and I am too.  But my rescue Bethany (A walker hound) is having terrible skin problems if she eats anything with meat or fish in it.  Can you recommend a good veggie receipe?  She is at least 8 years old and has different nutritional needs than a younger dog.

Answer
I'm sorry but at this time I do not know of a good vegitable recipe food for an older dog, talking to your vet may be a good start, also look into the BARF diet this may help as many food alergies may not really be to the meat products but the additional additives used to prepare the meat for comercial products. The BARF diet is a raw food diet. I wish I knew more but this is the best advice I have at this time. thank you for your question
