\u201cMany dogs are allergic to more than one thing,\u201d according to an <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> in webmd.com<\/span>. \u201cMost <\/span>common allergens are beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish.<\/span>\u201d One or more of these may trigger an allergy in dogs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
