In reply to Alison. Hi Alison, dietary sensitivities are very common with French Bulldogs, and paws are often affected. Take a look at what's in your current (or previous?) dog food, and if there's anything like grains (particularly wheat), colourings, or other additives then this is likely the cause. Simply cutting out this stuff (which your dog doesn't need anyway) will likely solve his paw issue in no time, and also improve his health in ways which aren't obviously symptomatic. Have a read of the page on hypoallergenic dog foods for more info, and you'll be all set to help improve your dog's condition!

I have a French bull dog with sore pads on his paws, the vets have advised me to use hypoallergenic food, has anyone else used it for this reason?

Hi, thanks for the review but I’m concerned how much this has impacted my decision-making for a long time and brought my dog pretty close to being hospitalised. He really does have protein allergies. We’ve tried. We’ve used top quality foods (no wheat, no grains). We’ve tried raw (very slowly but instant vomiting), we’ve tried single protein – best quality, air-dried, cooked, you name it, but still his albumin levels were dangerously close to total collapse. He was vomiting, had diarrhoea, etc. He’s now on this. As far as I’m concerned if it saves my dog’s life, I don’t much care about any opinion. I will trust my vet and internal medicine specialist.

In reply to Kelly. That may be the case, but in my experience most dogs with dietary sensitivities have a complete turnaround in health simply switching to a better diet without grains like wheat. That means for most people a far more affordable range of dog foods than being locked in to one particular hypoallergenic formula.

Hi, thanks for the article. While you are correct with using other sources of food without wheat or an alternative protein for dog allergies. My dog suffers with an overgrowth of yeast caused by an allergic react and the hydrolyzed protein is a good source of bypassing the immune system to prevent allergic reactions compared to other sources which might work short term but will definitely not work long term. The science is definitely not a marketing strategy.
