[NAGDU] Sensitive dog food

[Julie Johnson]

If the issue is ear infections, then a food without corn, wheat or soy might 
help.  A grain free food is even more likely to help with things like ear 
infections, skin rashes and general allergies.

If the issue is a sensitive stomach, then that's different.  I'd go with a 
chicken and rice, turkey and rice or something similar.

I'm not sure why your vet is suggesting a sensitive stomach formula to 
address ear infection issues.  That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Dog food advisor is a really good resource to research various foods.  Chewy 
and PetFlow are both services I've used to purchase foods.  I'm hesitant 
about ordering from Amazon because of possible lengthy time spent in 
warehouses.  Or if you like to shop locally I'd check out pet stores or farm 
supply type of stores.  I'd stay away from grocery stores and places like 
Wal-Mart.  I've not seen a quality dog food there.

In the past I've fed  Earthborn Wholeistics, Flint River Ranch, Taste of the 
Wild, Solid Gold and probably others I'm forgetting.  I switch between 
protein sources every couple of bags and switch between brands every few 
years.

I've just switched to the American Journey made by Chewy.  So far so good. 
No complaints, but I'm on the first bag of it, so not a lot of experience. 
The dogs like it.  They have experienced no health or relieving issues.

Yes.  I recommend American Journey from chewie.com.  they have a few 
different types of limited ingredient diets.  they are rated 5 stars by dog 
food adviser and are grain-free.  aprox $35 for a 24 pound bag.
give them a call and you can have it at your door in 2 days.
