My 5 year old frenchie suffers with terrible allergies, both food and environmental.

We have tried a lot of foods and landed on Different Dog which she has been eating for a couple of years. She only has lamb as she is allergic to chicken and beef.

I’m starting to think the lamb is becoming an issue, she is constantly itching her paws, ears, vulva, now her arms and making her self bleed. Her whole body is hot, I feel so bad for her.

She has apoquel for Atopy and this does help, however doesn’t curb the itch entirely so I’m thinking diet could be the issue. Thinking of switching to grub club (insect protein based food) and was wondering if anyone has any similar experiences?

My dog only has wet food, she swallows kibble whole and throws it back up, so she will be having the wet food cartons.

With the state of the weather lately, my house basically smells like a damp carpet. No matter how much I towel them off after a walk, they’re still shivering or dripping on the rug for hours. Does anyone actually use those drying robes or specialized mitts? I’m tired of using five bath towels every time it drizzles. Any tips?
