Hello, sorry to hear about Curtis. Dogs with food hypersensitivities would benefit from a limited ingredient diet or a novel protein diet. Novel proteins to consider include duck, venison, buffalo, rabbit, and in some states kangaroo. I would recommend switching him over to a limited ingredient diet with a novel protein, it may be of any brand, and feeding him only that for 4-6 weeks. That is, while on this food trial, he should not have any additional treats, table food, or other brands of food. If his clinical signs do not improve, then he may need to have a prescription hypoallergenic diet from your veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.
