    Hmm..what does the vet say the allergy is? Food allergy? Grass?

    The type of allergy food is important too...which kind was he on? There are many different types of food like that...you can try Lamb and Rice, Potato and Venison, Kanagroo Food...and you should give it a month or two to work out.

    Exactly- and even if it is a grass allergy- if the food is better, the immune system is stronger.
    There are a few supplements I could recommend, but first I want to see if the dog is eating food that is higher in allergy causes than others.

    Okay it can take up to two months to detox from certain foods. Your omega 3 is a good idea- but you need omega 6 too. You can try either " Hair of the dog" which is rich in both- but its expensive. Another good one to try is Dr. Fosters and Smith vitacoat plus . Here is the link. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...pc=1&N=0&Nty=1 . Of the two I like " Hair of the dog".
    I want you to read your ingredients in the food. If corn is high or chicken- we need to move the dog off it. More dogs have allergies to those two ingredients than anything else.
