I have had Andrew since he was a tiny pup and hes always been super (human) food motivated and LOVES fruit of all kinds (except grapes of course) but hes always been super picky about dried dog food. i would love to feed fresh/raw but to be honest i dont even have a set eating schedule for myself so i feel better when i can just leave him a bowl of something and he eats when he wants. which he does, hes never been one to scarf a whole bowl down unless its ziwi or s&c nuggets.
weve had paw issues since i can remember, weve been on apoquel, but i decided to stop a few years ago because of some things i read, and so ive been doing baths with vet basics chloroconazole shampoo and their anti bac and anti fung spray on his paws and have been trying to be good about wiping them off when we come inside but hes still having some allergy/paw issues and i think it might be yeast related. weve been to the vet so much for this and its always just "do you want to put him back on apoquel" and nothing else really offered. even once said it comes with the territory for a white dog - not sure if that was a joke.
anyways. so before i buy his next bag of food i wanted to reach out and get some thoughts. were on red barn air dried dog food right now and he eats it but doesnt like it as much of course as the ziwi which is his #1 but i am also a student with no income so im like man, im spending more $ to feed my dog than myself (which, honestly im ok with, so please give all price range options)
weve tries s&c kibble the raw coated and the insinct raw blend, honest kitchen, and some others i cant think of off the top of my head. i dont think he needs to be grain free??? i mean i cant tell a difference either way unless you think this may help somehow?
really just not sure where to go/what to do from here
