The Story

I started this blog for those interested in learning about another person's struggle of a dog with allergies.

So here is the story from the beginning...

We got our adorable 10 week old male supposedly a blue Pit Bull with blue eyes from a humane society in January of 2009. We should have known that he was a mix because he had a little brown in his blue fur and he already weighed 20 lbs when we got him at 10 weeks old!

He grew and grew for the next few months with little to no problems until he was about 5-6 months old. He started having vomiting and diarrhea and was looking very skinny for his big body. He also started to get these red, dry and itchy spots on his belly. (Hot spots) And around his eyes, mouth, and paws were all red and slighty swollen and terribly itchy. He also kept getting yeast in his ears; trying to start an ear infection.

Those were about all the symptoms he had, so we started by switching his food to a better all natural food. He never seemed to get better or worse, the symptoms were just there....
