    brand like EUKANUBA or others...

     
    Being a Owner of 3 Westies myself... I say UGH to Eukanuba. There are so many great foods out there to choose from its a matter of finding the right one but if you have done your research on Westies they are dogs that are very prone to allergeries. Have you looked into Natural Balance? I want to share a website with you that you can post on and everyone on the site has Westies or Carins and they are a world of information and would love to help you.

    I emailed my neighbor to ask her about Mollie, her allergic Westie. This was her answer:
     
    Molly is on Hill's special diet, the one she is on is made up of potato & venison, she was put on it because she was allergic to many foods. She was vomiting all the time, as soon as she adjusted to this she was fine but once you start them on it and they do well then they get nothing else. No treats. Once in a while I give her some chicken or turkey but then it's hard to get her to eat only the dog food. It comes in pellets and canned so I mix it.  The skin allergies have to be treated with different things once they find what the allergy only she doesn't respond to the drugs like they would expect.
    she gets diharea from a lot of the drugs.
