When Riot was about 6 months old we found out that he had allergies to wheat!
He was on Natural Choice dog food and started to loose his fur on his nose. I got worried and took him to the vet to check it out and we found out that it was more then likely wheat in his diet so I switched him to Innova and his fur grew back!
Hes such a hard thing to shop for, for treats and such, most of the treats you can find at the pet store have wheat as their main ingredient. At least I nkow that hes now only allowed healthy treats! lol
Not to long ago, our nighbour behind us grandkids threw bread over our fence to feed our dogs(HUGE no no for Riot obeviously). I got out there as soon as I saw it happening but it was too late, Riot was chewing up the pieces... a day later he started to loose his hair again. Those kids cost me $100+ in vet bills to get allergy medicine for Riot. It not only started to effect his nose but gave him ear problems as well(itchy ear, shaking his head etc).
About a week later on the meds he was doing much better. I was furious. I have since spoken to two of our neighbours about his allergies.. only two more to speak with and then the surrounding houses know about the allergy.
Him being my #1 baby plus being a show dog, he needs to be healthy![]()
