I have a 30 lb mini Australian Labradoodle who would break out in hot spots and lick his paws raw. I took him to a UF vet school allergist who diagnosed Sparky with allergies to beef and chicken. He cannot have any food products produced from cows including dairy (ice cream, cheese, and beef). He also cannot have anything coming from chickens or foul, including eggs. We have to avoid all dog food items made with egg powder (chews and snacks).
The UF vet prescribed Royal Canin dry food (venison and potato or white fish and potato). He takes 1/2 Apoquel every other day for seasonal allergies. Hope this helps.
