Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Remmi! She is a 9 year German Shorthair Pointer Lab mix, spayed and current on vaccinations. Remmi loves toys! She loves to play ball and definitely doesn't act 9 years old! She is a little skittish around men, but once she gets to know the person she is fine. She gets along well with dogs and cats. Remmi does have a history of skin allergies. You may be able to see in this picture that the inside of her legs are red. We had Remmi allergy tested and found out she is allergic to: Kentucky blue grass, cat dander, pigweed, barley, beef, eggs, lamb, milk, pork, soybean, turkey and venison. Wow! That is a lot of allergies! Now we know why she's been so itchy and red for most of her life. Her allergies have gotten better since we have switched her to a hydrolyzed dog food. This food can be expensive when purchased at a vet clinic, but if you bargain shop you will find a cheaper price online or in a pet store. We think Remmi is worth the investment! She has a lot of love to share and ball chasing to do! Will it be with you?
UPDATE ON REMMI (8-8-17): We have good news to report about Remmi! Since her allergy testing results came back she started on a Royal Canin Hydrolized food and has now been switched to a more cost effective diet of Blue Buffalo Salmon. We are happy to say that Remmi is now living life with no itching or redness! Royal Canin Hydrolized Food (25lb bag) $80.00 compared to Blue Buffalo Salmon (24lb bag) $50.00. We don't think that's too much to pay for a happy dog!
