Venison — the one to try when chicken and beef are the problem.
This is the hypoallergenic recipe in the Karoo adult range, and it exists for the dog who scratches. Venison is a novel protein for almost every South African dog — she's never eaten it, so she's had no chance to develop a sensitivity to it.
Venison meal and lamb meal give 20% protein, the lowest in the range, with rice as the single grain and a deliberately short list so there's less to react to. Fish and salmon oils bring omega-3 to 0.75% with EPA/DHA at 0.5%, which supports the skin barrier while it recovers. Glucosamine and chondroitin are in at the same levels as the rest of the range. For adult dogs of all sizes.
Rice, lamb meal, poultry fat, venison meal, venison liver, beet pulp, brewer's yeast, pea flour, fish oil, inulin, salmon oil powder, salt, potassium chloride, essential minerals & vitamins, sodium bisulphate, encapsulated fatty acids. Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 12,500 IU · Vitamin D3 1,250 IU · Vitamin E 100 IU · Vitamin C 50 IU · potassium chloride 2 g · zinc hydroxychloride 110 mg · ferrous sulphate 50 mg · copper sulphate 4 mg · potassium iodide 1 mg · organic selenium 0.15 mg. Preservatives: approved antioxidants. Sensory: palatability meat-based enhancers. Registered under Act 36 of 1947, Reg. No. V26914.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Weigh her food rather than scooping — the difference between a level and a heaping cup is a real percentage of her day. You should be able to feel her ribs easily under a thin covering. Introduce it across a week if she's coming off something else; a limited-ingredient food is worth changing to slowly so you can tell whether it's helping.

A guide, not a rule. Montego count high activity as three hours or more of exercise a day, moderate as one to three, and low as an hour or less — most family dogs are moderate. Split across two meals and adjust to condition. Fresh water, always.
