Your pet doesn’t have to suffer from itching & poor appetite.
If you have a pet with dog allergies you know just how difficult it is to identify and deal with all that scratching and itching.
You wonder if it’s an environmental allergy or food allergies and you don’t know what to do about it - It is so frustrating!
Dog Allergies and Hypoallergenic foods
Vet prescribed pet food, costly allergy tests, special supplements, pet vitamins and the list goes on and on.
What should you do when and if your vet tells you it’s dog allergies? You must first find out what he’s allergic to. It could be so many different allergens in your home.
 Your dog may be allergic to food, commercial pet food, shampoos, toxic cleaners, fleas and other pests. Read more about dog food allergy
If your dog has skin allergies it is usually something in your environment. You should check to see if you have anything toxic in your home, like detergents, floor cleaner (if your dog licks the floor he might be getting toxins on his feet then when he licks his feet it is ingested).

What about outdoors? Do you spray the grass with weed killers? Do you apply other chemicals to the areas around the house? Read more about poisons your pet can come in contact with
I have found that commercial dog food is often the culprit when it comes to pet allergies.
Canines in the wild do not eat corn or wheat, yet these two grains are often the main ingredient in commercial pet food. Just take a look at any canned food label and see if corn or wheat doesn't present itself as the first ingredient (and therefore the biggest percentage of all the ingredients in the commercial pet food your are paying a lot of money for) in the list of what's in the dog kibble you are buying.
