Most dog allergies are airborne. Vets have said 15% of dog allergies can be food based. Dogs can be allergic to the same things people are including cats.
More common possible food allergens include: Beef, Chicken, Fish, Eggs, Soy, Wheat, Corn and Milk.
Consider sticking with one type of dog food for six to eight weeks, then switch to see if the allergic reactions change. One should slowly phase in a different food over a span of one or two weeks, as it can upset the dog's tummy. But if the allergy should reoccur again with the new food consider these possibilities:
• The airborne allergen disappeared and was the cause of the allergy (not the food).
• Maybe the dog was fed an allergic food substance, or she found some scraps on the kitchen floor?
