Food allergies
Food allergies in dogs are actually very uncommon — in fact, only 10% of dogs experience food allergies! Rarely, however, some dogs may experience reactions to certain ingredients, and they are identified through food elimination trials conducted by your veterinarian. A food elimination trial is a process of finding and removing the food ingredient causing skin issues or digestive upsets.

Managing a dog’s allergies
Managing a dog’s allergies can be a challenging process, and your first step should be visiting your veterinarian. They will help you find the right combination of nutrition, medication, and/or topicals for your dog.
Understanding nutritional support for food and environmental allergies
You’ll want to ask your vet about a few things when it comes to the best dog food for food or environmental allergies. For food allergies, ask about therapeutic dog food with a single novel protein or hydrolyzed protein that is unlikely to cause a reaction. For environmental allergies ask about nutrition that can nourish and help protect from environmental irritants.
