When a dog with food allergies is exposed to a certain food they\u2019re allergic to, the immune system sees it as a foreign substance and attacks it. Now, this attack can cause a reaction that reflects in skin or gastrointestinal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food allergies can develop at any stage, but they often emerge after prolonged exposure to a particular food or ingredient. However, identifying the underlying cause of food allergies can be challenging, as they are unique to specific pets and can occur due to several food items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some common food allergies in dogs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beef<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dairy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Know_if_My_Dog_Has_a_Food_Allergy\"><\/span>How Do I Know if My Dog Has a Food Allergy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this segment, we\u2019ll discuss the common dog food allergy symptoms to help you identify food allergies in dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin issues:<\/strong> Itching, skin\/ear infections, hot spots, hair loss, and redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gastrointestinal issues:<\/strong> vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive gas, and appetite loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other issues:<\/strong> Weight loss, hives, and facial swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice some or all of these symptoms, consult with your vet and book an appointment at earliest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Handle_Food_Allergies_in_Dogs\"><\/span>How to Handle Food Allergies in Dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you can\u2019t cure food allergies or intolerances, but they can be managed. Therefore, the main goal is to identify the harmful ingredients and avoid them. The treatment can be separated into two stages: diagnosis and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diagnosis\"><\/span>Diagnosis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The diagnosis starts with a physical examination and enquiry about the medical history to narrow down the allergens. In this, the symptoms, lifestyle, onset of the allergies, and diet history of the pet are studied. However, the most practical and practiced method by professionals is an elimination diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This involves feeding the dog a novel protein and carbohydrate source or a hydrolysed protein diet for 8-12 weeks. The special diet is formulated by eliminating the ingredients in the dog\u2019s previous diet to determine if the symptoms are reduced. Then, the dog is gradually introduced to the previous diet with individual food items to identify the specific allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Management\"><\/span>Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the allergens are identified, the vet will recommend dietary changes to manage the allergies. They will also suggest treatments to manage the symptoms or secondary infections, such as bacterial and yeast infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For long-term management, you can provide home-cooked meals with the guidance of your vet or get diet-specific food suitable for your dog. You can also introduce natural foods and supplements to support their diet after consulting with your vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parting_Words\"><\/span>Parting Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this brings us to the end of our comprehensive guide on food allergies in dogs. Identifying food allergies can be challenging, but with the right knowledge and professional support, managing them becomes much easier. With patience and care, you can help your furry friend live a comfortable, allergy-free life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singaporepetcare.com.sg\/blog\/whats-making-your-dog-scratch-top-reasons-revealed\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=whats-making-your-dog-scratch\">What\u2019s Making Your Dog Scratch?<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singaporepetcare.com.sg\/blog\/know-all-about-the-nutrition-needs-of-senior-dogs\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=nutrition-tips-for-senior-dogs\">Nutrition Tips for Senior Dogs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Itching, licking, and scratching are considered normal behaviours in dogs.
