I Think My Pet Has Food Allergies! I Need A Brilliant Solution!
This is a basic description of popular dog foods based on cost and marketed as advisable for dogs with food allergies.
Quality food for less: Chicken Soup dog food offers more fruit and vegetable in their recipe and they incorporate potatoes, carrots, peas, apples, tomatoes, blueberries, cranberries and spinach into the food.
Avoderm is made with avocados to promote healthy, glowing, beautiful skin and coat. They also make vegetarian recipes.
In the mid price range Eagle Pack make Holistic Select which are protein rich recipes with added prebiotics, probiotics and antioxidants. The chicken meal is hormone free and fruits and veggies are all human grade. Eagle dog food comes in dry and canned formulas in a variety of flavors.
Blue dog food or rather Blue Buffalo dog food contains high protein, whole grains, veggies and fruit formulated based on what humans eat. Dogs are less likely to be allergic to foods they have not eaten often, like sweet potatoes and brown rice. There are dry and canned options but in 2007, some of their products were recalled.
Similarly, Pinnacle’s Canine Holistic Allergen-Free Formulas for dogs use foods in recipes such as trout and oats to which dogs are less likely to be intolerant. Nature’s Recipe dog food contains no beef, wheat or corn products as these often are allergy-promoting ingredients. The makers of Inova dog food also make a protein rich food with fruits and vegetables, called Evo.
Life’s Abundance has no by-products, corn or wheat, chemical preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. Some of the main ingredients include chicken and chicken meal, salmon and other fish and fish meal, carrots, apples, spinach, celery, alfalfa meal, ground brown rice, antioxidants, live probiotics and chelated minerals.
The Abady dog food company makes frozen raw diets for dogs containing fewer unwanted foods such as soybeans, beet pulp, and others. Expensive canned and dry formulas can also be purchased.
The IVD dog food brand, now known as Royal Canin, makes breed specific recipes and special need recipes like Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Hypoallergenic HP 19, which is a lactose and wheat gluten free recipe.
Simply using these recipes might solve the problem quickly, but if you think your dog has food allergies, it is best to find the culprit and remove it.
Your veterinarian can guide you if needed, and if your dog is showing signs of food allergies, it is best to have him looked at by a professional.
