What is food allergy? 

An allergy is a result of the immune system’s hyper reaction on substances like pollen, dust, or even temperature. When it comes to food allergy, your dog’s immune system becomes hypersensitive to specific proteins found in his food.

In one study ¹, researchers performed tests to identify the most common offending food allergens in 297 dogs suffering from food allergies. They found out that animal meat proteins were the biggest culprits. About 231 dogs are allergic to beef, dairy, chicken, lamb, pork, fish, rabbit, and egg. 

To fight food allergies, experts recommend taking off these allergy triggers from your dog’s diet. Opt for hypoallergenic diets with ingredients that your dog isn’t exposed to yet or has not developed a sensitivity for, like vegetable sources. 

“Most of the time a dog has food allergy to meat protein such as beef, chicken, or one of the other common meat sources. Vegetarian diets may bring these food-allergic dogs relief from their skin allergies,” said veterinarian Dr. Armaiti May. ²
