We used Canidae for a long time but they changed their formula and put peas and carrots in so we switched. We have used Dick Van Patten's food too - duck and rice I think. Right now he is on good old Purina One and seems to do well. We also squirt salmon oil on his food, particulary when he is itchy. At least for Zeke there are SO many allergies that, until we got him tested, I don't think we had a chance of avoiding all of them. It is nice also that when he was tested they printed out a list of foods and treats he should be able to tolerate.

I think we will definitely look into those food allergies again. May I ask what food you feed him now? Just curious because we did try several different foods in the past.

We have a ridgeless Ridgeback too. He is 9.5 now but had so may annoying habits (licking himself everywhere, rubbing his head against the carpet, flapping his ears, scratching, diarrhea) that we were at wit's end. Had labwork (including allergy testing) and he is allergic to beef, pork, lamb, soy, peas, carrots, peanuts! What is amazing is that the puppy food we gave him had NONE of these ingredients (what a coincidence!). When we switched him to adult dog food our problems began, though we didn't catch the correlation. Check her for food allergies, it made a huge difference for us! Food allergies, food allergies, FOOD ALLERGIES!

He's so stressed and I'm always complaining of aches and pains. We thought a couples massage a few times a month might be good for us. We came home from dinner and there was your blog on massage - it's a sign! My husband and I were just talking about massages tonight at dinner!
