Context: 2 dogs, 30ish lbs and 53 lbs.
Dog 1 has a chicken sensitivity that results in GI issues.
Dog 2…has a TBD sensitivity. Started with red skin on groin and sensitive, red paw pads because of licking. Got better when switched off of Kirkland Nature’s Domain, better with Iams Sensitive Skin/Stomach, and now after a month on Purina Pro Plan Lamb/Oat it is AWFUL (has gotten progressively worse). After looking at ingredients, I’m thinking Pea/Pea Protein is the cause (or canola oil+meal).
So I’m looking for a chicken free, pea free food. Ideally lower in yeast due to Dog #2’s predisposition for urate bladder stones.
If you had to choose between these foods (or if there’s another chicken free, pea free food you recommend I’m all ears!), what would you choose? I’m mainly concerned about brand reputation/safety/quality.
Options:
Instinct: Be Natural Salmon/Brown Rice
American Natural: Legume Free, Chicken Free, duck w butternut squash
Natural Balance: limited ingredient Salmon & Brown Rice
Taste of the Wild: Ancient Mountain w Ancient Grains
