What helps dogs with food allergies?

If your dog's food allergy symptoms are severe, your vet may recommend that you feed your dog a prescription dry food. While this option can be expensive, novel protein and hydrolyzed diets available by prescription are typically superior to those that can be purchased through pet supply stores.

What foods should dogs with allergies avoid?

The most common allergens are beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish.

How long does it take for a food allergy to clear up in dogs?

Managing Allergic Reactions If you suspect food allergies, it's best to totally switch the type of food and treats your pet is eating, then see if symptoms improve. Typically, it takes around eight weeks for symptoms to clear up.
