Food allergies are developed after periods of time eating a certain ingredient. To minimize food allergies, an elimination diet is often necessary. However, if you have had your dog its whole life, you should know what he's gotten in the past.
Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets are a wonderful choice for food allergies, as they contain a novel protein source, and either sweet potatoes or regular potatoes, and little else.
If your baby has environmental allergies, a fatty acid supplement (such as salmon oil) is very high in natural anti-inflammitories that can help suppress the immune response to the allergens.
Good luck. | Good post.
While Science Diet Nature's Best Chicken flavor is far from the worst dog food, it isn't the type I'd use for allergies.
