Can Dr. Gary’s dog food help with my dog’s itching?
Yes, it can — especially if your dog’s itching is linked to food sensitivities. Dr. Gary’s recipes are made with high-quality proteins and avoid common fillers like corn, wheat, and soy, which often trigger reactions.
What ingredients in Dr. Gary’s formulas support skin health?
Most formulas include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from sources like salmon oil or flaxseed. These help improve skin hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote a healthy, shiny coat.
Which formulas are best for dogs with food sensitivities?
We recommend:
Salmon with Vegetables: Great for dogs sensitive to chicken or beef.
Holistic Grain-Free: Ideal for dogs avoiding common grains.
Working Dog or Field Dog Diets: Perfect for active dogs needing skin-supportive nutrients.
What if my dog has a true food allergy?
If your dog has a diagnosed allergy to a specific protein (like chicken or lamb), check the ingredient list carefully. You may need a single-protein, limited-ingredient formula — or reach out for informed advise.
Will this food help if my dog’s itching isn’t food-related?
No. If the cause is environmental (like pollen or dust), parasites (fleas or mites), or skin infections (yeast or bacteria), a dietary change alone may not help.
How long should I wait to see results after switching food?
Give it 4 to 6 weeks to assess changes in your dog’s skin and coat condition. Keep notes on symptoms, and avoid switching foods too quickly.
Should I consult a vet before switching dog food?
Yes — especially if your dog has chronic symptoms, known allergies, or other health issues. A vet can help confirm whether a food trial is the right next step.
