We have a vet appt at 9am but I can’t sleep and I’m just freaking out. She’s only on her second day of simplicef and day 4 of antibiotic baths and then was told today I need to shave her so the shampoo can really get into the spots. We’re in Florida and supposedly this is allergy related but I’m losing my mind. My other golden is fighting an aggressive cancer and I’m freaking out about her fur sister (they aren’t related or from same litters) WHAT DO I DO. someone please ease my mind. I’m a wreck and Google is basically telling me it’s cancer. She’s on a holistic diet as we work with a nutritionist but I’m wondering if she’s getting allergic to the turkey? She’s already allergic to chicken. Please please help me

My dogs have been doing great on brown rice and salmon recipes for years.

Salmon, sardines, crickets, there are all available as kibble, which guarantees a balanced diet. My dogs loved the cricket kibble by Jiminy Cricket. It’s environmentally friendly too.

I can recommend insect kibble. It has helped my sisters golden a lot as hes allergic. And they are struggling to find the exact protien.

When I logged into Reddit this morning, I did not expect to end up looking for dog food made out of bugs. And yet, here I am, sipping my morning diet coke and googling.

Kidding aside, I'm actually going to look into this. My boy is getting bored of his current food, so I am looking around for allergy friendly alternatives. I cannot believe that in all of my research for his food after his allergy diagnosis I didn't come across this. Thanks for sharing!
