These foods are usually available in one of two varieties:

• Foods with a limited number of ingredients (LID)
• Foods that are hypoallergenic

You can also use prescription-based diets if everything else fails and you check with your veterinarian.

In most circumstances, though, choosing one of these solutions will pay off. Why is this the case?

Limited ingredient diet (LID) foods, on the other hand, have considerably less ingredients than ordinary dog food. With fewer ingredients, your dog is less likely to develop an allergy. These feeds are easily available over the counter, with no need to contact a veterinarian or obtain a prescription. Vets normally recommend hypoallergenic dog foods, but you may also order them online or locate them in pet food stores. These frequently chemically degrade the food's proteins. Your dog's immune system should not be inflamed by an allergen that appears undetectable in its hydrolyzed state since the proteins have been reduced to their fundamental building blocks, known as amino acids.

Because of these options, your dog should be less likely to develop an allergy.

So far, everything is going swimmingly. What, however, is the root cause of food allergies in dogs in the first place?

The most typical culprits are chicken and beef. Dairy and eggs are also common allergens in dogs. While you may believe that dogs are naturally allergic to these chemicals, this is not the case. The truth is that these substances are found in the majority of dog recipes, so it's a numbers game that leads to more allergic responses rather than anything innately wrong with those items.
