Hi everyone! My name is Tara, my boyfriend Will and I have a beautiful seven month old blue persian in our family. We have recently realized that he is developing an allergy. He gets his monthly FrontLine drops, and I have checked him over well for fleas. This is obviously not the reason for the reaction. The next thing we are going to try is switching him to a very high quality food. There is a very good chance that this will solve our problem, as we have recently realized we are feeding him CRAP. Price is no object right now (don't go crazy on me though $50 for a pound of food...hehe), we just want to find the best thing to try to help our baby.
After searching through the forums, I have found two different brands that seem to be highly recommended, available about an hour away from home. Innova and Natural Balance. The SolidGold (I believe that's the name, and I believe I've heard it mentioned in good terms here) *may* be available right down the street.
I am completely ignorant when it comes to nutritional things. So I am going to leave it up to YOU all to pick out a food for him. lol Please pick one of the above, or suggest other high quality foods that I could look into.
While I'm here, I picked up some spray at the store the other day in hopes that it would help relieve his itching a bit. It is "St. Jons PetRelief Anti-Itch Spray". Does anybody know anything about this product/company? Is it truely safe? Are there any possibilities of complications if he grooms an area where it has been applied?
And of course, if a food switch doesn't help his matter, he will be going to the vet ASAP. Thank you all so much for your help, I'm really excited to have found this forum!!!
