Question
I also have him on z/d hills science food which is an allergy food.. . . no help. $31/8 lbs. . and doesn't help.

Answer
Hello again Wendy,
I know exactly how you feel.  I have a dog that has been battling ear infections for about a year and a half now and have tried about everything.  I have changed his food, used about every cleaning product they make, and have tried more medications than I can remember and am still treating him.  He is now on Predisone and its finally starting to work.  

Rather than the food you are using, you might just switch to a Lamb and Rice formula because dogs can easily become allergic to products with Chicken and Corn.  

Again, I hope this helps you.  Please feel free to contact me if you have other questions or concerns,
Kim

Expertise

I can answer general questions about Poodles. My specific area of expertise is Standard Poodles, but I will answer all questions about Poodles and dog related questions if I can. If I can't answer your question, I will be able to find information or someone who can.

Experience

I am a Dog Groomer and Dog Trainer, who has raised Standard Poodles for over 25 years. I can answer Housebreaking questions, Obedience/Training questions, Grooming questions, Breeding questions, and General Dog questions. I can also give SUGGESTIONS about general Health questions, but as I am not a Certified Vet, I cannot and will not diagnose illnesses. If you think that your dog is seriously ill, please contact your own Vet.

I am a member of the American Kennel Club.

Education/Credentials
I have worked at several Pet stores in my area, worked for a year as a Vet Tech, was an apprentice for a Dog Trainer, and have also worked at a Grooming/Showing kennel for several months. I have also raised, shown, currently train, and groom my own Standard Poodles, and have for over 25 years.
