5 Signs Your Dog May Have Food Allergies
Noble BarkShare
Food allergies are becoming more common among dogs. If your dog constantly scratches or experiences digestive problems, their food or treats could be the cause.
Common Signs
- Excessive scratching
- Ear infections
- Red skin
- Paw licking
- Vomiting or diarrhea
How Novel Proteins Can Help
Switching to treats made from novel proteins like kangaroo, emu, or crocodile may help reduce allergic reactions because your dog's immune system is less likely to recognize these proteins.
Tips for Introducing New Treats
- Introduce one new protein at a time.
- Monitor your dog's reaction for several days.
- Offer treats in moderation.
When to Visit Your Vet
If symptoms continue after changing your dog's diet, consult your veterinarian to rule out other medical conditions.
