Where to find this dog food

bonkers

Moving back to Ireland from Canada where we fed our beagle with Iams ko- as it was the only food which stopped him itching.

Any idea where we might find it in Dublin?

Vets that stock Iams should be able to get it/have it,, where in Dublin are you moving to?

It's only available from vets which you probably know

Oh hai

The majority of larger veterinary clinics will stock Iams so you shouldn't have too much hassle in finding it.

well despite being told by iams that tesco had it, they tell me now that iams vetinary formula is not stocked in ireland or the uk at all.

any recommendations on other good food for dogs with allergies?

Taste of the Wild
Orijen
Acana

I have tried all 3 as my lab has a allergy to grains or fillers, would get very itchy ears and a buildup of black soot in her ears. When I switched the problem disappeared.

I've tried Totw and acana in Canada, no dice.

Iams KO is kangaroo and it appears that we need to find him a protein that he (a beagle from Kentucky USA) might never have been in contact with, as kangaroo etc.

Are there any options with Kangaroo or other such crazy meats? -

the lengths we go for these dogs..

Arden Grange is good, but if you supplement any good quality food with an omega rich oil such as samlon oil, this should help your dogs itching, i can't recommend salmon oil enough for skin conditions - really got me out of a stressful few months with my dane (not to mention an almost bankrupting course of indefinite meds!!!), his skin has cleared up completely thanks to the salmon oil!!!

I've heard great things about the royal canin skin diet I think it's called sensitivity control or something like that, some dogs that have been on atopica for most of their lives were able to come off it because of it. I've never tried it myself it's just what I heard

Pumpkinseeds

Have a look at Bozita dry dog food on Zooplus.ie they usually have stuff like elk in theirs, maybe that could be a substitute for the kangaroo. Otherwise I think you'd have to try to find an American or Australian supplier who would ship to Ireland and that could be hugely expensive.
