Corn dog

Maya is a corn dog. Well, according to our trainer anyway. I mentioned to trainer Mike last week that Maya had an ear infection, her second in the last three months. He asked what we fed her. Purina One dog food. That, he said, is the problem. He said that food contains corn and Maya is getting an allergic reaction to it. Corn, wheat and soy are not good foods for dogs. I noted that her skin is red and our friend, who is a vet and came to see her last week for the ear infection, told Meche that the redness was an allergic reaction. Mike said she has sensitive skin and her ear infection is related to that. He said changing her food to one with more animal protein would be better. Not sure of the name of the brand he recommended but I'll check again this week and write it down. Several brands I checked on line have names that sound like what he said, Abundant Life or Bountiful Life.

Then this week I saw a commercial for Blue Buffalo dog food and they emphasized the issue about corn. I might try that and Mike mentioned it as well. I know Innova is also supposed to be good--and they have a commercial with an Irish red and white setter that looks just like Maya. Gotta try it if for no other reason.
