19 Best Dog Foods for Cavaliers with Allergies
If you’re referring to itchy skin allergies, please try a regular application of antifungal shampoo on your cav before using any type of steroid medication. Many times skin allergies are simply from an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. Also our vet had us try all kinds of different protein sources in kibble for possible food allergies (rabbit, duck, kangaroo, etc) and it was a waste of time and money.

I have tried more brands than I can count, and cooked for her for years then I finally found SMACK. It really has the least amount of inflammatory ingredients, and ingredients in general (which is what you want when dealing with allergies) and it has single source proteins. Ie: no protein meals. It is a dehydrated raw. So it comes in what looks like a kibble form. I feed the Salmon. I have taken my poor pup to both dermatologist vets and holistic vets in search of answers for her severe allergies. They both were excellent sources of information for me but on the end they could only partially help us. I learned so much about the dog digestive system when I was cooking for her as well. I did extensive food mapping and tracking and food elimination diets with her. Finally after everything I found SMACK and it aligned with everything from the specialists and from my research. It’s literally been a life saver. It’s not cheap!! $137 CAD for 25 cups. But I promise it will change your dogs life!!!!

Pure pet food cleared my cavaliers skin and appears to be helping keep his ears clear. He was a rescue who came with a terrible ear infestation. Also found it has helped my collie cross lab with her reactivity as she was badly abused before we got her

Burns sensitive potato and pork…. plus a bit of added ProFibre. This is pretty much the best we’ve found for our little girl. We’ve tried so many foods but dairy and most grains, including rice, seem to flare up her colitis something awful. She’s also VERY fat sensitive. This seems to do the trick. We’ve another dog who had an awful time with food too, the exact cause of her bad tummy was unknown as she doesn’t react to treats that contain grains or dairy, so we think it may be fat related…. so she too went onto Burns Puppy and is now really stable and happy on the Sensitive Potato & Pork version. It’s been a godsend for all 3 of our girls really as the third, while she has no allergies or issues, she’s a really crazy fussy eater but even she loves it. So glad I found it!

My cavalier had skin allergies, so adjusting diet to tuna and vegetables for main meal. Fruits, yoghurt (sugarless made from scratch) and rice milk for treats and snacks. But it would really depend on what the Allergy is.
