Thanks - if we continue with dry food we'll be choosing something in smaller bags so we can reduce the risk of mites.  Funnily enough the breeder supplies with Akela when we picked her up but I struggled to order it far enough in advance.

Thanks Dottie, that's helpful - I did wonder if I was just looking at two different foods.

We need to be careful with dry food as another allergy is to storage mites but she likes to leave a bit of kibble to graze on during the day which isn't ideal with wet food. My preference is to change to another dry food first and see if better ingredients help her.

Dog foods / Beet Pulp allergy

« on: Dec 17, 2020, 23:20 »

Hi

I've just started using this site to look for a suitable replacement food for our dog as she's had an allergy test and we're trying to remove a few specifics from her diet. One of the allergens is Beet Pulp. I've used the 'Foods' section to put in all my search criteria including to avoid sugar beet. One of the results returned was Forthglade Cold Pressed Grain Free Dry Dog, when I've looked at the specific ingredients for the food it includes Beet Pulp.

Am I doing my search wrong - is sugar beet on the 'avoid' list not going to remove beet pulp from the results?  I had assumed these were the same thing, am I wrong in my assumption?

Many thanks if anyone can help with some clarification.
