Does your German Shepherd have allergies? - Page 4

No allergies so far.

Zeus was fed raw from 9 months on, he developed allergy when he was 5 or 6 yrs old. We put him on venison diet for a few months and his allergy went away on it's own.

Madina is allergic to almost everything. She does ok on turkey only (raw) but still sheds constantly. Pork, beef, chicken, etc she's all allergic to and sheds hair in clumps.

Djenga is allergic to venison. She started having some allergy issues, so we did an elimination diet, starting with feeding only venison. Her allergies blew up - she had severe ear infections and was losing hair on her legs, chest, and ears. Once she was off the venison she cleared right up.

My others have not had any allergy issues.

Salem doesn't have any of the seasonal or food allergies, but I did find out this summer that he is allergic to bee stings. That was a nightmare!
