DogInsider.com has released the latest advice and guidance on identifying and treating dog food allergies, with tips from pet nutritionists.
—
The new guidance highlights the genetic predisposition of some dog breeds to certain meat proteins. When the dog’s immune system recognizes eating this food as a foreign body, a potentially severe allergic reaction is triggered.

The recently published advice from DogInsider.com includes an updated list of common food allergens for dogs, taken from the latest pet nutritionist guidelines. The list includes foods which are commonly found in dog foods, such as beef, chicken, wheat and soy.
If a pet has an adverse reaction to any of these ingredients, says DogInsider.com, pet owners will notice symptoms including skin irritations, digestive upset, and respiratory issues. It is important, according to canine health experts, to consult with a veterinarian to avoid serious reactions, which could potentially escalate to anaphylaxis.
“It’s also important to know that dog food allergies are different from food intolerances,” says a spokesperson for DogInsider.com. “A food intolerance in dogs is a reaction to something they eat, which causes an unpleasant physical response - like bloating or constipation - but isn’t necessarily life-threatening like an allergy. That’s why knowing the symptoms of an allergic response and how to mitigate the risks is so important.”
DogInsider’s guidance also offers tips on preventing dog food allergies. Pet nutritionists suggest varying the sources of the proteins and carbohydrates found in dog food so that the gut microbiome becomes used to a variety of foods. New foods or changes in diet should also be approached gradually, according to the experts. This gives dogs time to adapt to the new foods and makes pinpointing the cause of any allergic reaction easier for the owner or veterinarian.
