Thanks. You can give the colostrum a try.

Have you ever tried elimination diets?

My dog was allergic to animal stuff. Yes. Nightmare. She was nothing but vegetarian, ALL her life (Tara was itchy from the get-go and could not even grow in her adult hair, she scratched so much). That means no treats basically, no pet-store visits, no bones. Sad. She had vegetarian food. Best was from the derm, but some at the shops could be used.

Also allergic to about every single thing in the environment there could be. 64 tests and she would fail 40, mostly indoor related. And as the vet said, it could vary and the tests are not perfect, so her next one would be different set of 40.

Cookies allergies were all plants that I never heard of, no foods, no indoor allergies. Her scratching started at about age 2, she is 8 now.

I have tried the grain free dog foods, all of them. I even tried the all vegetable one when the others made no difference. I am back to grain free now.

I have 4 dogs, one a 80 pound hound dog so I am not really looking forward to making my own dog food. I have been to the Dinovite website and I am reading it carefully. I have been giving her Dinovite for about 4 weeks now and while her fur looks very good she still scratches her bottom and cries. I am hopeful that we are on the edge of improvement.

I am going to check out the colostrum.
