Top » Column » [Staff Selected] 5 Recommended Dog Foods and Treats for Allergies!
To prevent food allergies, it is important to choose foods that do not contain allergens (causes of allergies).
This time, we will introduce five foods, snacks, and toppings carefully selected by Bow Wow Place staff that consist of a single type of meat or fish.
At Bow Wow Place, we stock a wide variety of food, snacks, and care products that contain the nutrients needed to stay healthy.
Please use the correct information to help maintain the health of your beloved dog!
1. Three points to consider when choosing dog food and treats to prevent food allergies
◆ It is a single source of protein
A single protein source is one that has one main ingredient, such as chicken or beef.
The majority of food allergies in dogs are caused by proteins.
With so many different types of proteins that can cause allergies, it is difficult to know which one will trigger an allergy.
Also, if you already know the source of your dog's allergies, you can choose foods to avoid, so you can rest assured. 
*Food Allergy in Dogs and Cats:A review 2006
According to the study data mentioned above, the foods that caused allergies were beef (36%), chicken (10%), lamb (7%), and pork (4%).
The main meats alone account for the majority.
Other major protein sources that cause allergies include dairy (28%), eggs (10%), and soy (6%).
Other foods that may be the cause include wheat (15%), which is a main ingredient in snacks and complete foods.
When feeding your pet homemade food, be sure to consult with your veterinarian and choose ingredients carefully.
◆ Grain-free
The above material states that although the probability of grains causing food allergies is low, it is true that they do occur in a certain percentage of cases.
According to the data, wheat (15%) and soy (6%) are the most common allergens.
We recommend choosing grain-free foods and treats.
◆ Check whether additives are present and what type they are
Artificial additives are also said to be a cause of food allergies.
For this reason, we recommend choosing food and treats that are free of preservatives, colorants, and flavorings.
