I think you are doing the right thing, I would seriously recommend NOT going on the prescription diet stuff if it is the same as ours - it is awful. It is the Hills Prescription z/d Ultra Allergen Free.

After going on it on the vets advice I started reading up on it and even their own helpline said not to use it as Maggie was only 7 months when she started it and it is not for dogs under 12 months. Also, it might have helped her skin but it is full of rubbish and her behaviour has definitely changed for the worse while she has been on it. Plus to top it off it is bloody expensive!!

I am insisting tomorrow that I will be changing foods when we go to the vet - I am thinking of trying Burns too. I wanted to use Orijen, as this is meant to be a brilliant dry food and no grain/cereals etc, but they don't use a single meat /protein source, and as we don't know what it is she is allergic to I am a bit wary about putting her on this.

Good luck with the Burns!
