Dog Food Allergies

Does your dog have a food allergy? Feeding the same food to a dog every day may cause them to develop an allergy or intolerance to common ingredients. The most common food ingredients responsible for allergies are chicken, beef, dairy, pork, lamb, fish, eggs, corn, and grains. Corn and wheat are often used as cheap fillers in pet foods.

If your dog eats the same type of food, its system begins to reject those ingredients as its body has been overexposed to them. This is why we recommend rotation or variety feeding. Rotation feeding reduces the risk of allergies because the ingredients and formulations are not in your pet’s diet long enough to develop an adverse reaction, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and hives.

Foods with limited ingredients are a good idea for dogs with food allergies as it’s easy to know what food might be causing a reaction in your dog. For example, if your dog has been eating chicken, look for food that does not contain chicken to give your dog’s system a break.

New foods should be introduced slowly by mixing with the old food for about two weeks or more, depending on your dog’s sensitivity. Look for foods that use whole ingredients and are free from chemical preservatives and artificial flavors.

At Addiction Foods, we believe in genuinely innovating our foods to provide the best quality nutrition for your pets. We use hypoallergenic premium proteins that contain no fillers or preservatives to prevent allergies and promote wellness and long-term health in pets.

Addiction Foods’ Zen Vegetarian is an exclusive, hypoallergenic recipe for dogs with food allergies.

As with any diet changes, always seek your veterinarian’s advice. – Addictionpet.com
