Allergies can be common and when they do. These allergies can be noticed because most do cause a rash on the body. Others cause itching, scratching, and even vomiting. There can difficulties with trying to see some types of symptoms because some symptoms might be signs of something else. An example would be if your dog is scratching excessively its coat might just be dry and your dog might need nutrients such as Omega 3,6,and 9. A definite way you can tell an allergy is if your dog is obsessively licking its paw or biting other parts of its body.
There are many symptoms and it all depends on the type of allergy your pet has. I f you are unsure please contact your vet.
I find this picture quite concise and informative and will be able to help any owner see the signs. Like I said if you see these signs or are unsure see your vet because you do not know the seriousness of the allergy. One way to see the signs is to see your dog and how he or she reacts. Anything out of the ordinary please call the vet.
List of most common allergies:
1) Allergy of protein2) Allergy of grain
3) Allergy of certain veggies
4) Allergy of additives in some dog food
The one allergy I have heard a lot about either from the research I have done or a expert I talked too was a protein allergy. The most protein allergy I have heard of is the allergy to beef. But there is a solution for dog owners and dogs alike it would be.........lamb. Many dog foods for dogs with allergies contain lamb. Lamb is said to be non- allergic to dogs. Another re placer that you could try would be fish. The only thing is I don't know how well it works. There is yet another solution,but it can be pricey. The solution would be to get vet prescribed food.
If unsure always do a little research yourself as well as ask your vet.
