Does My Dog Have an Allergy?
by Dirk Gruenberg
Maybe you find out one day that your dog scratches himself constantly like he feels itchy all over his body. As a result raw skin is showing in various parts of his body. His skin seems to by dry and flaking. It looks like dandruff in human beings.
Most dog owners think their dog may be have been bitten by insects like fleas or just or simply suffer from dry skin. But it may well be that this condition is caused by allergies.
Something that many dog owners do not know: Dogs quite often show itchy or dry skin as the symptom of an allergy.
It is rather unlikely for a dog to suffer from some sort of seasonal allergy. More often it is their food that causes the allergy which leads them to scratch themselves or shaking their heads much more than they usually do.
The most common food allergy in dogs is related to grains - most commonly corn. Corn is frequently the number one ingredient in dog food, and very frequently can be the culprit in your dog's allergies.
But other types of grains or even meat can be the reason for your dog's allergy. There is basically only one way to find out what it really is. Switch your dog's food and start with the most obvious: Feed him food that does not contain corn.
There is a more tricky combination of food causing allergies with dogs once in a while: Meat and rice - specifically lamb and rice in many cases. Why is this trickier? Because eliminating this food from your dog's diet does not show immediate results.
It is important to be consistent and patient if you change your dog's diet. It may well take two weeks or more before the change produces results and your dog stops scratching himself. If he doesn't after two weeks there is a good chance that grains are the main reason for the allergy.
What can you do now? In this case you want to rule out all sorts of grain as the allergy's reason. Skip all sorts of grains from the diet and go for an all meat diet. Before making these changes it would always be a good idea to ask your vet for further advice.
