Consider using a limited-ingredient diet or a hydrolyzed protein diet to treat dog food allergies.

Dogs suffer from allergies like humans. They most often react to flea bites, food, and medicine. Treatment options vary but start by eliminating the source.

Warning signs: Itching, swelling often indicate your dog is allergic to something.

Excessive scratching can be a sign of food allergy: Ingredients in commercial food such as corn, soy, dairy, fish, chicken, eggs, and wheat can trigger allergies.

Relieve pet dander allergy: A pet dander allergy can be frustrating. But you don’t have to give up your dog. Instead, learn to manage allergy symptoms.
