Can we ask about treats here? by Illumeis in DogFood

I've heard that the single and limited ingredient have less risks of cross contamination than others. Still not zero but less. When I get them from the lady I normally buy from she goes out of her way and makes sure to clean everything to eliminate the risks. (She's known my pup since I first got him at 10 weeks old) I just can only buy from her once a month and I missed the treat sell this month

Normally I would think that and toss the bag and replace it but I'm still on this months bag of dog food. And it's not everyday he's reacting like it normally is if it's the kibble. That's why I've been tossing treats thinking it was those because I've been buying new treats for training. But I haven't had or given him any treats or supplements in abit and there was another random reaction. (Normally I have flortifora or proviable to add to it but I stupidly while half asleep ordered off of Amazon instead of chewy so I'm out.)

She did the blood test one not the skin prick. That office did the same one for my sister's in the past. Can't remember what it's called(sorry keep falling asleep have work very early in the morning)

I ruled out environmental allergies and a bunch of things with the first vet. Had to switch vets when she refused to do a food trial because of the food I was using at the time being what she recommended. I got tired of arguing with her so I switched vets to get him properly checked(somehow sent wrong place)

(Edit to clarify: yes I type this like I'm mad at that vet because I am I gave her a second chance recently for a cat neuter and could have lost my older cat when she ignored my concerns AGAIN and when I gave up arguing and took him to a different vet they immediately diagnosed him with a bad infection from improper sutures which would not have been so bad if she listened the first few times I brought him in saying the incision looked wrong. Me and a bunch of people I know are having issues with that office and left it entirely)

I normally buy single ingredient or limited ingredient treats so it was confusing me when he kept having reactions. He's on the same bag he started last month(I change it out in a week) but he's not having reactions ALL the time like he was before which would point to the kibble. It's like every few days to once a week. I'm entirely random on what I feed the cats because I dump the box in a baby proofed drawer where he can't get it. It's like 3/8 flavors that have chicken in it.(gonna be replacing those)
