You are correct that many veterinarians would rather treat your dog or cat diagnosed with skin allergies with steroids injections or other medications that compromise your pets liver or kidneys. It never hurts to try, by process of elimination of wheat, corn and soy in the diet for a month to see if your pets’ skin allergies improve. It doesn’t cost anything but the price of the food (that you will have to provide anyway) and your diligence and . . . your pet will thank you too! Dear Dr. John:
