Evanger's Get Pet Healthy Question of the Week: Dogs with Bad Allergies

Every week we have a contest on our Facebook page, and invite Evanger's feeders to ask a nutrition question about their pet. Our certified On-Staff Nutritionist picks one question to weigh in on. Here are this week's questions and answer.

Question from Shawn Ferguson:

My dog suffers from bad allergies, mostly grains, can you recommend a plan she can use to help her with her allergies?

Answer: 
You've already taken the first step if you know what your dog is allergic to. Although allergy testing by veterinarians isn't absolutely reliable, it can often help identify allergens when dogs and cats are sensitive to multiple foods.

Fortunately, Evanger's offers a great selection of grain free kibble and limited ingredient canned foods that can be combined to create delicious and highly nutritious allergen free meals.

Just remember to read the labels and pay close attention to ingredients that your dog may negatively react to. You can even feel free to share the list of allergens with us, and we can suggest several feeding protocols. But remember, it's always a good idea to gain veterinarian approval before initiating dietary changes.

We hope you find this advice helpful in the meaningful process of determining the best dietary route for your pet.

Thanks for sharing your question! We host a #GetPetHealthy question of the week every Monday on our Facebook page. The winner receiving a FREE bag of JERKY TREATS, so check in on Mondays at http://www.facebook.com/Evangers
