What to Look for in Dog Food for Skin Allergies
Choosing the right food for your itchy dog starts with understanding the root causes — because even the most expensive kibble can backfire if it’s packed with hidden allergens. Common culprits include wheat, soy, corn, artificial preservatives, and even proteins like chicken or beef that some dogs develop sensitivities to over time. Instead, focus on clean, whole-food ingredients like lean turkey, salmon, sweet potatoes, and anti-inflammatory fats such as coconut or fish oil. These not only reduce itching from the inside out but also support your dog’s immune system, gut health, and skin repair — making every bowl a step toward long-term relief.
