My pup is a 9 month, 72 lb. Weimaraner/Vizsla mix — just a big, little boy! He has suffered allergies (we suffered with him) for months. Constant diarrhea, bumps alllllll over his body (hives) and just overall discomfort and pup in constant pain. After countless vet visits, paying big bucks for vet prescribed food and elimination diets, we (sort of) now know some of his allergies— well at least the main ones. Salmon and poultry (turkey, chicken). In Canada, our selection isn’t as good as the US for limited ingredient diets. Even the limited ingredient diets have salmon oil in them. It’s beyond frustrating. We have him on Ultra Venison and Sweet Potato and on the second bag now (about a month and a half ago). We thought we found success but wait!!! no!!! what’s that on his head, hives!? Again? From what? We are really controlling what he eats so what could it be?? Oh then we think, can it be that TINY piece of chicken he snatched off the counter that we ripped out of his mouth and he didn’t even eat? But for two weeks hives on his head? Is that it?? Anyway, you get the point it’s just terribly stressful, and really really hard to figure out what’s triggering these bumps.
So background story (and vent) done... just wondering if anyone has good resources on a raw diet. I bought some patties once, the bag cost me $40 and lasted for one day. I had to give him 27 patties and there were like 35 in the bag. Is that the kind of money some people are paying on their big dogs? What’s the average cost per month? Any tips or help to break it down would be very very very VERY much appreciated.
