Anyone try Dogswell Nutrisca Salmon or Eagle Holistic Select Anchovey, Sardine and Salmon? My boys chew and scratch on their feet, legs and whatever they can reach with anything with chicken and potato in. Currently using Fromm Duck w/Sweet potato with great improvement. Also, what is the difference between potato and sweet potato allergy wise?

As rare as food allergies are, if you notice something when your dog eats chicken and potato, chances are its the chicken.

Neither white potatoes or sweet potatoes are linked to allergic reactions that I am aware of.

The Eagle looks like a nice food, people love it and its been around a long time.

Annamaet makes two great fish formulas, Option and Aqualuk and a really great red meat formula called Manitok, with no chicken, chicken fat or eggs.

Dr. Tim's should have a Bison formula out in a few months.

He will start scratching, chewing on his feet etc within the same afternoon when he eats chicken based foods. Since he has been on either salmon or duck he does exihibit the same behavior. Any thoughts on the Nustrisca? Ideally, would like to have an alternative of a food that can also be bought locally...incase mail order delays (had a 7 day delay due to the last snow storm).

Looks ok, no pea protein concentrate like many other foods.

Try it and see how it goes.

FWIW, one of my Goldens has an allergy to both chicken and white potato (he' s fine with sweet pots) and I've trialed both foods you mentioned in my pack's feeding rotation. With the Nutrisca's higher fiber, low-mod calories, had to feed comparatively more of it to maintain weight. This may work well for certain dogs that are overweight, inactive, diabetic, and/or easy keepers, but it wasn't a good fit for my pack. I'm also not overly keen on the company.

Eagle (particularly Holistic Select) has a better reputation, but I found that particular food to be rather average. A bit low in protein & fat for my crew, but again, that may be ideal for some other dogs. Keep in mind both this formula and the Fromm contain eggs, which if from a chicken, could also be problematic.

You could try Victor. There are two fish formulas with sweet potato. One has chicken fat but that should be ok. Both are very good values.
