Does your dog have an Allergy? Do you know what an Allergy is?An allergy is defined as being the over reaction of the immune system against what is normally a harmless substance. A dog without this sensitivity/allergy would have no reaction to the substance, while a dog that has a sensitivity/allergy will react by releasing chemicals which cause allergy symptoms. In the case of food allergy and dogs, it’s usually seen in red itchy rashes on the skin or chronic yeast/ear infection. Keep in mind that a dog with these symptoms could be experiencing a “side effect” from the substance and not necessarily allergic to that substance. There are also "trigger" foods. Meaning that there is not a true allergy present, these foods act as a trigger for allergic type reaction due to a low immune system.
