The best dog foods for allergies are available in one of 2 basic designs:
-
Limited ingredient diets
-
Hypoallergenic dog foods
Limited Ingredient Diets
Limited ingredient diets contain fewer components which can make it easier to pin down the specific ingredient (also known as an allergen) to which your pet may be allergic. Limited ingredient dog foods are sold over-the-counter without a visit to the vet.
Hypoallergenic Dog Foods
Although hypoallergenic dog foods are typically prescribed by veterinarians, they can also be ordered online directly by pet owners.
Many are made using proteins that have been chemically “split” (hydrolysed) into their basic amino acid building blocks which can make the original allergen virtually “invisible” to your pet’s immune system so your dog is less likely to experience an allergic reaction to the food.
If your furkid has any allergies, please let us know when you cart out the item and we will be able to customise the food for you!
