Thanks Hal - I will do that. I actually have relatives in Cambridgeshire, so I might give them a call tonight and see if they know of it. I think getting something to help counteract the allergies would be a good idea. Thanks everyone for the advice - will let you know the outcome. K x

Kaye, Why don,t you ask your Vet for the Address of The Vetenary School in Cambridge,They may be able to come up with a solution or something to counteract the allergies. Hal.

Javee - that's a good idea about contacting the manufacturers, I will do some searching on the net. I thought about a vegetarian food, but would that contain soya, wheat or milk? Poor Storm is only 3 years old and seems to be the result of bad bredding - he's got Hip Dysplasia in both hips and Arthritis in one, he had to be neutered at four months old as one of his testicles hadn't dropped, he's got dodgy knees apparently, he's got a toe missing on one foot and his ears don't stand up! lol But he is one of the loveliest dogs you could ever wish to own - full of character.

Jess - do you mean soup? Surely you don't feed your dog soap? Hal - yes our Vet is very good and we have an appointment to discuss it with her next week, but even she's struggling to think of something - will most likely end up with a prescription food, just wanted to know if there was anything on the market I could buy now, or if anybody had any advice really. He can have scrambled egg (just made with egg obviously) and mashed potato, but don't think that's going to give him everything he needs. Kaye x

Your poor dog, Kaye and poor you trying to find a suitable diet for him. Perhaps you could try contacting a few of the big name dog food manufacturers to see if they have anything in their range which might help. Would a vegetarian diet be worth a try ? I think you can get processed vegetarian food for dogs.

Have you asked your Vet for information on Specialist food suppliers.?. He should know,or be able to put you in touch with some one. Hal.

Only leaves Veg and vitamin drops doesn't it? (mine eats soap but dont suppose that has many vitamins...) What does the vet suggest? Oh heck.... Jess

I'm just wondering if any of you have a very allergic dog and if so what you feed him/her? I have just had a load of allergy tests done on my German Shepherd and it turns out that he's allergic to almost everything - chicken, white fish, lamb, beef, pork, turkey, rice, wheat, soya, milk....think that's all of it? He also happens to be allergic to dust mites, storage mites and certain grass seeds!! We now need to find a suitable dog food for him and I was hoping that perhaps someone on here could advise me? Any advice at all would be very much appreciated. Kaye x
