Do you know whether it has rice or potato in it Ozzysmom because I am trying to find a food without these in for Benji but most of the hypoallergenic foods all have rice in them And is Autarky available at petshops or is it just online?

Oh yes just been on a website and it states it has rice in it

Try this aswell as a diet change....fantastic stuff!

Thanks for that Archer - thats another thing I have been meaning to try and never got round to ordering any. I will try that

Aww shame, hope you find a food that'll help.

thanks all so much advice, all those foods it is so hard to do the best for our dogs at times and the vets dont always have the answers

No I know what you mean - our vet is struggling at the moment to help our dog. He has had skin problems since he was 17 weeks old and he is now nearly 2. I am not having the allergy tests done because I think they are a waste of money and cost about £400. They can even come back inconclusive - so whats the point of them

A freind of mine has a bitch who had terrible bad skin....rashes etc.Tries all sorts of pills and potions from the vets,all kinds of foods etc.Nothing helped until I helped them switch to a raw diet....the dog is much better now.
