If your dog struggles with allergies, you’re not alone. Food sensitivities are one of the most common causes of itching, digestive issues, and chronic discomfort in dogs. The good news? The right nutrition can make all the difference.
At TerraPawz, we believe that every pup deserves food that fuels health—not discomfort. Let’s explore what causes dog allergies and how plant-powered, functional treats can help support their sensitive systems.
🐾 Understanding Dog Allergies
Dogs can develop allergies to a variety of substances, including food and environmental triggers.
Common Food Allergens
- Animal proteins: Chicken, beef, and dairy are frequent culprits.
- Grains with gluten: Wheat and soy can sometimes cause irritation.
- Artificial ingredients: Added colors, fillers, and preservatives may worsen symptoms.
Environmental Triggers
-
Pollen, mold, dust mites, and even flea bites can cause allergic reactions.
Signs Your Dog May Have Allergies
Look for symptoms such as:
- Constant itching or paw licking
- Red or inflamed skin
- Ear infections
- Digestive upset (loose stool, gas, vomiting)
If your pup shows these signs, consult your vet to identify the underlying cause before adjusting their diet.
🥕 Choosing the Right Food for Sensitive Dogs
Nutrition plays a major role in managing allergies. Choosing clean, limited-ingredient, and plant-powered treats can reduce inflammation and improve gut health.
What to Look For
✅ Single protein source: Helps isolate potential allergens.
✅ Grain-free or hypoallergenic options: Ideal for sensitive digestion.
✅ Natural preservatives only: Look for mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E).
✅ Functional add-ins: Ingredients like chia, flaxseed, and turmeric offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
