Nutrition for Dogs with Allergies

Itching is the most common symptom in allergic dogs, often affecting the feet, armpits, groin, head and ears. The cause can be food-related, environmental, due to contact with certain materials, or even caused by fleas.

Some dogs suffer from multiple allergies at once, such as a combination of food and environmental allergies.

The goal of treatment is to reduce itching as much as possible. This often requires a combined approach:

  • External care using shampoos or mousses
  • Support for the skin barrier with fatty acids or spot-on products
  • Supplements or medication to relieve itching
  • Specialised food to reduce allergic reactions

For food allergies, diet is the most important treatment method.

Food Allergies in Dogs

If a food allergy is suspected, an elimination diet is necessary. If itching disappears during the diet and returns after reintroducing the previous food, a food allergy is confirmed.

You can then use blood test results to identify which ingredients are safe. Based on that, you can choose a suitable hypoallergenic food. Explore our full range of hypoallergenic dog food for more options.

Hypoallergenic Food with Hydrolysed Proteins

These diets contain proteins that have been broken down into small pieces, making them unrecognisable to the immune system:

Hypoallergenic Food with a Single Protein Source

These diets contain only one, often novel, protein source (such as horse, salmon or quail). It’s essential that your dog has never eaten this protein before:

Allergy to Environmental Triggers

If your dog has been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, nutrition can still provide valuable support, especially if a food allergy is also present. These diets are usually low in allergens and help strengthen the skin barrier.

In addition to food, proper coat care plays a crucial role in managing allergic symptoms.
