My pet pooch spent months on a very limited diet of rice and hamburger as we tried to figure out what type of food or an ingredient in his dog food that he was allergic to. The ironic thing is that he had been munching down on the same type and brand of dog food for years. Suddenly, his skin and coat began to tell us that something wasn’t right.
One of the most common types of dog skin allergies is an allergic reaction to a food or by-product. And let me tell you from first-hand experience that it is not a fun process to go through for the animal or pet owner. The worst part was not being able to treat him (he loves scooby snacks!) or even feed him his normal amount of food for breakfast and dinner.
