Grain Allergies in Dogs

If your dog has a grain allergy, it means they are allergic to one or more types of grains, such as wheat, corn, or rice. Common symptoms of a grain allergy in dogs can include itching, skin rashes, ear infections, gastrointestinal upset, and respiratory issues. If you suspect that your dog has a grain allergy, it is important to take them to the vet for an evaluation and diagnosis.

If your dog is diagnosed with a grain allergy, your vet may recommend a grain free diet. Grain Free dog food uses alternative sources of carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, peas, or lentils. It's important to note that not all grain free dog foods are created equal, and some may still contain ingredients that your dog is allergic to. Therefore, it is important to carefully read the ingredient labels of the dog food you purchase and if required, consult with your vet to ensure that it is safe for your dog.

In some cases, a grain allergy may be part of a broader food allergy or sensitivity, and your vet may recommend additional testing to identify any other allergens.

If your dog has an allergy, you can use the perfect food finder on our website to select any allergens your dog may have and find the best grain free dog food for your dog.
