It can def be helpful for an allergy dog who is not allergic to food to be on a low-allergen diet nonetheless, just to avoid add'l potential inflammation or whatnot. For example, if I had an allergy dog (which I do, 2 of them), I would avoid flax and many grains. |
Me too, people do threads laughing about all the gas passing their dog does, and I think poor dog, he's not able to digest his food if he has that much gas. If your not able to digest it, you probably not able to utilize all the nutrients. Also, that much gas can be extremely uncomfortable.
