Food & NutritionWhat's the best dog food for a Great Dane with skin & food allergies?
In order to investigate the role of food sensitivities, a hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin anallergenic should be fed for 8 weeks, avoiding all treats and flavored tablets etc. The extent of improved symptoms will give an indication if food is any, all or part of the issue. If limited improvement is noted, transition to a specialized skin health diet such as hills derm defence after 8 weeks. I recommend you contact the dermatologist before you institute changes to confirm this will not affect their protocols
