Excessive Itching and Licking?

[Jack Monzon]

Sounds like seasonal environmental allergies to me. I wouldn't be surprised if your vet gives you low dose prednisone for treatment. Allergies this time of year are particularly horrible!

That's exactly what he did. One week of twice/day prednisone, then one week of once/day.

The vet didn't have an opinion on California Natural, but he agreed with my decision to change his protein source (from Nature's Variety chicken and salmon, to California Natural lamb). He also told me no treats -- i.e., to use his food as a treat.

This is the first week of all CN, and my dog taken to it very well -- hard, small stools, and he actually gets excited about the food.

A lamb-based kibble is not meant to be fed on a permanent basis! So make sure to rotate other protein sources into the diet for taurine.
