There are two ways that your dog can ruin a good night’s sleep…by constantly scratching or throwing up. Can I get an amen?

| Bentley supervises the process and makes sure he is right there when the timer goes off. |
Bentley has environmental allergies that cause
him to scratch under his front legs. They are much better living in south Texas,
but he can still get an itch. He has also been known to do the butt spin which is
never a good look. It didn’t take but a couple of days before we noticed his scratching
stopped and he hasn’t even thought about spinning. We can always tell when he
gets the urge and have to stop him.

| A huge thank you to Dr. Harvey's for our new leashes! The Bayou Boys will be stylin' and profilin'. |
The
real test came with our lovable Westie. Pierre has recently been diagnosed with
Inflammatory Bowel Disease but has been waking us up around 3:00am to
the sound of his stomach rumbling before he vomits bile. We have
about 4 minutes maximum to get him harnessed up and out in the backyard before
he gets sick.
Dr.
Harvey knows that there are thousands, if not millions, of pet parents dealing
with these same issues. So, he did what he does best and formulated a new
balanced, limited ingredient recipe to help canine itching and upset gut.

Introducing
new ALLERGY complete food for dogs. All you add
is water and love. The Bayou Boys LOVED both the turkey and fish recipes. I can
always count on Bentley letting me know when it is time to eat but with Allergy,
Pierre came to tell me it was dinner o’clock!
When
Pierre became extremely
sick back in 2018, our veterinarian put him on a prescription gastrointestinal
food. We ordered it and a case of 24 cans cost $93.36. Pierre was
supposed to eat 1¾ cans daily. At that point, we ceased giving him anything
other than the food, prescription treats and boiled chicken breast. We kept him
on it until last fall when he once again
became violently ill. This time we had x-rays, blood work and a test for
IBD since this has been an ongoing issue. Of
course, the IBD test came back positive. We were told he shouldn’t have food with additives, artificial coloring,
preservatives, pork, beef or red meat proteins, and gluten (wheat). She
prescribed a new hydrolyzed food for him. I tried not to cringe when I
went to order it and the price was $107.79 for a 24-count case. The good
news was he only needed 1 ½ cans daily. The bad news is that Pierre wouldn’t
have anything to do with it. I honestly bought a can from the vet’s office
because the can I opened was so unappetizing that I thought it must be bad. No,
that was the food my poor Westie was supposed to live on for the rest of his
life. I just couldn’t do it.
It was as if Dr. Harvey heard my prayer and just as I was thinking Pierre was destined for a life of chicken and rice…BAM! Along comes Allergy to save the day and his tummy. The price of a 5 lb. bag of Allergy makes 20 lbs. of food at a cost of $82.99 (less 10% with my affiliate code). He eats one dry cup daily divided between breakfast, dinner, and a small bite at 11:00pm. I add one cup of hot water to a half cup of dry food then wait 12 minutes. It feels good to feed him a homemade meal that he loves. Best of all, NO STOMACH ISSUES!!
Let’s
compare the last prescription food’s ingredients and kibble to those of Dr. Harvey’s
Allergy.
Kibble:
Most
foods for sensitive stomachs or allergies are available in kibble. This process
requires food to be cooked at a high temperature that takes the vital nutrients
and changes the chemical structure which makes it difficult for your dog to
digest. Add to that the preservatives used to prolong shelf life and artificial
colors and flavors to make it more appealing. These toxic chemicals irritate
your pet’s immune system and can prevent their bodies from working properly.
Allergies are often traced back to a diet that is low quality and highly
processed.
Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein: water, pea starch, hydrolyzed chicken liver, hydrolyzed soy protein, vegetable oil and a list of chemicals and additives that I can’t begin to understand.
Dr.
Harvey’s Allergy:
turkey or whitefish, flaxseed, carrots, broccoli, green beans, cabbage,
pumpkin, sweet potato, chia seeds, butternut squash, and spinach. There are
other all-natural vitamins and supplements added but you will not find ANY
corn, wheat, soy, dairy or eggs.
I
am not a veterinarian or a nutritionist but is it really necessary to be one
when the difference in the foods is so obvious? Take it from me, you and your
dog will be happier and rest easier with Dr. Harvey’s Allergy.
Now,
you didn’t think we would tell you all about such an amazing food without
giving you a chance to win a bag for your bestie, did you? Fetch the details
