They are like our children aren't they? I give 2 of mine .25m of benedryl a day for inhaled allergies (leaf mold, yes I live in S TX) it is a battle. The dog food starts with 55 pounds of beef, 15 pounds of organ meat, we cut it all up and cook it outside in a very large pot on the crawfish cooker. The we add all kinds of stuff (we have a recipe) like flax seed, garlic, apples, carrots, 2 heads of spinach, cabbage or other lettuce, green beans or broccolli or some very rare times peas, and on and on. It takes about 8 hours to process, cook, cool, and bag and it lasts about 1 month for the 3 of them. It has cut down on the poop in the yard by 3/4 for sure and they have less visits to the vet. Well worth it.
