U can't blame everything on kibble!!! There are way TOOOOOO MANY dogs out there who eat kibble and live long healthy lives, no allergies, immune deficiencies, NOTHING!! SO, do not blame the troubles of dogs on their kibble diet!!! I guess I should have DELETED this e-mail like I do all the others, but this one caught me early in the morning!! I've had gsd since 1988 and ALL have been fed kibble, hell, I started w/ the cheap stuff, and learned about the others through time...I'll put the condition of my dogs up against anyhthing out there, anytime... Nuff said, I have to go feed my beautiful dogs that crappy ole kibble!!!!!!!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "shirley sommers" <ssthunderpony@xxxxxxxxx> To: <cinosamgsd@xxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11:46 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Question about allergies.... > There is 'Nothing' in that kibble , or any other brand of kibble or canned processed junk, that will promote a carnivore's well being. > > That poor dog has so many issues because of his compromised immune system it is hard to decide which one to address first. > > EXCEPT one of the main causes , first of all immediately ........... > Get him on a species appropriate diet of raw meaty bones.

The vets are draining her pocket book and they have not offered much in the form of relief. The dog has the typical symptoms...licking feet, obsessive scratching ear infections.
