I also have a very picky Frenchie who is allergic to everything. I currently home cook for him. He has had allergies since he was 5 months old.
Does he have environmental allergies too?
Grain free is best for allergies and for Frenchies. Rusty is allergic to all grains and chicken and others. The gas can be due to a food allergy which can be the grains.
I recommend trying a gently cooked food for him.
Really good store bought(they are balanced) and grain free.
Open Farm gently cooked(comes in beef, Turkey, surf and turf Which is salmon and beef and chicken recipe) just avoid the chicken recipe.
Raised Right human grade gently cooked
This comes in beef and pork and other protein options.
These 2 brands of gently cooked store bought food are balanced and low carb which is great for allergies and inflammation.
You can also home cook for him. I home cook for Rusty and it has definitely helped like the other low carb options I mentioned above but my Frenchie Rusty got tired of them because he is a very picky boy!
He used to have lots of gas from the food and the food allergy to grains and it literally doesn’t exist anymore! The food has helped so much!
You can add probiotics too to help the immune system and allergies.
Open farm beef bone broth has anti inflammatory super foods in it I give it every other week for immune boost. That also helps with gut health and allergies.
Bovine colostrum can help with itching(I use the brand four leaf rover) and I give it to him daily. It’s great for allergies.
Herring oil is good for allergies too( I buy the Thrive herring oil) it helps with allergies and inflammation and itching.
What allergy symptoms does he show???
Dry foods and most canned foods are high in carbs/starch which create inflammation so it’s best to give low carb gently cooked or raw. But definitely look into the 2 gently cooked brands that are pre made and balanced, they are grain free and low carb and great for allergies!
