Thank everyone I will certainly check all those out.
Shalva - The reason for trying the homemade diet is to cut down on costs (we are still paying off the last vet visit which was around $300), my dog has hip dysplasia which means expensive supplements and nemerous vet visits as well as the allergys which aren't confinded to food (more vet visits and usually antibiotics and creams). My husband and I are also expecting our first child in April so funds are limited at the moment. Hubby does a lot of hunting so the venison and goat meat aren't a problem to get but allergy testing is just means more costs. As far we know he is allergic to dairy products, fatty meat or food such as dog roll and beef aswell as products in most of the cheep dog foods, the allergys are also seasonal and some plants set him off as well, oh and spending to much time in the sun! :-). However when he is in good condition on a good diet everything seems to be fine, he also has an exensive cream which helps soothe rashes early on and usually prevents them from getting much worse.
I probably should just talk to the vet at our next visit in a couple of weeks and get her opinion.
Will let yous know how I get on.
