Is there a economical hypo allergenic dogfood available for a large dog?

Lick Lick Lick his feet, Each large bag cost upward to 100.00 dolars plus his meds. He's a wonderful rescue dog and we love but can't afford him!Any suggestions.The dr will give us a prescription.Which over the counter foods would be least harmful.What is cost of food allergy testing?Thanks

Try giving your dog Taste of the Wild (Natural Choice).It is corn and most grain free, and that is what most dogs are allergic to.It is about 40-46 dollars for a 35-37 pound bag.There are also some that are fish and rice formulas, some have sweet potatoes in them.If you have a Tractor Supply close to you, it is about the cheapest place to get these foods.

If you're saying that you're buying prescription dog food, then did your vet diagnose your dog as being allergic to anything specific? What potential allergen food items does the prescription dog food avoid (e.g. wheat, chicken, etc.)There are lots of OTC alternatives, but you'll need one that addresses your dogs specific allergy.There are the grain-free foods, which will work if your dog is allergic to a grain. One of my dogs appears to be allergic to oats - so any grain free food solves for that. Taste of the Wild is the most affordable grain free food.There are "limited ingredient diet" foods that offer like one meat source and starch (e.g. Salmon and Potato) - Wellness and Natural Balance come to mind.Food allergy testing isn't typically done via labwork, it's done through food "trials", where you figure out what the dog is allergic to by process of elimination.That's how I figured out one of my dogs was allergic to oats. And that's how it is typically done.
