Dog Treats For Food Allergies
Did you know dogs can get food allergies just like humans can? It's true -- dog allergies are more common than many people realize. If your dog is scratching, licking or biting at their skin they may suffer from food allergies. Other symptoms include gastrointestinal distress and loose stool. Luckily there are a variety of dog treats for food allergies on the market these days. While you probably won't find a huge selection in the dog food aisle of your supermarket there are other places to shop for non-allergic treats. Veterinarians, pet stores and dog treat bakeries are great sources. You can even bake your own.
One of the most common food items dogs are allergic to is wheat. You should know that your dog can eat a certain type of food for years before developing an allergy to it. Wheat allergies cause the common symptoms of itchy skin and discomfort for your dog. Some dogs are allergic to artificial preservatives and fillers often used in commercial dog food. There are certain foods that are actually toxic to dogs, that dogs should never have under any circumstances as ingestion could be fatal. They include chocolate, grapes, raisins, garlic and onions. The best course of action if you think your dog is allergic to their food or treats is to implement dietary change.
There are plenty of dog treats available these days that contain all natural ingredients. There are even those that are totally wheat-free. Good Dog bakery treats are wheat free and have that wonderful homemade quality. Another famous dog treat bakery where you can get wheat-free treats is Three Dog Bakery. Then there are also smaller bakeries that can be found online who also sell treats for dogs with allergies. Another option is to make your very own homemade dog treats for your allergic dog. If you've got the time and enjoy baking this is an ideal solution for you.
You will find all kinds of recipes online and in dog treat cookbooks. Look for recipes that tell you how to make dog treats for food allergies. Of course if you know the food your dog is allergic to simply avoid it when making your treats. There are basic recipes for cookies and biscuits that can be modified to suit your particular needs. For example, you could take a basic dog biscuit recipe and add flavoring like carob, sweet potato or peanut butter depending on what your dog likes. With a little practice you will be a pro at baking your very own allergy safe dog treats.
