I also try to add in fish oil. Elmo has severe allergies and we have had the RAST testing done, he is allergic to lots of things, including some pollens...but we did find that corn and wheat to be two major foor allergins for him. So we feed healthwise Oatmeal and Lamb, which is not a true lamb meal food because it does have chicken meal and Chicken Fat in it...so watch your labels, dont believe that just because it says lamb meal that it is.

But back to the fish oil, this time of year Elmo shakes his ears and looses the hair around his left eye which also gets a bump. We have had it looked at and tested, it is nothing, but an allergic reaction, so for him we have been able to up his fish oil to both feedings until about August...then the flair up settles down and the hair grows back.

I would definately opt for the rast test though....really helps narrow down what you need to do.
