Oh, I hate to hear this. My poor HUGE American Bulldog is plagued by skin conditions, and I spend so much on “pure” food...then, a few months ago I (stupidly) bought a large bag of chicken jerky at Safeway. His skin is still a mess, and now I’m afraid it was that stupid decision of mine.

I swear this is it! I am NEVER buying any food or toy for my dogs with the tag: made in China. I hate to bad mouth a company, but I think I nearly bought a “Hartz” pet toy that said MIC...it looked crappy, and I put it back. Forgive me if I’m spreading untruths...but the point is...check out where that toy is coming from. China puts horrible crap in the rubber.

Oh, and since I mentioned it, my dog is doing better now. It was never life threatening...just that miserable skin that some white dogs have.

Hope everyone’s dog here is safe.

Here's old Mason. He's sharing a deer shoulder with a kitten.

He was a real killer, he was. ;-)

I found out my dog has allergy's and the vet gave me the name of 4 different commercial foods for her...Some of the grains in dry dog food can cause problems...I changed her to Blue Buffalo. And also found out she is allergic to chicken...so nothing with chicken in it for her...I will give her some chicken and within a hour she is licking her paws, which according to my vet is one of the ways allergy's manifest in dogs. Vegetables like corn are OK but not things like wheat and other grains...some feeds are also gluten free.

Blue buffalo was the only one I could find in my area and that was at the tractor supply store. They carry products for all farm animals and pets....He also told me I could buy what he sells but the names he gave me were just as good as what he sells...it is more expensive than most feed, but cheaper than buying it from him, even her wheezing when laying down has stopped...
