Using premium Dog Food

There is a distinction that needs to be made between food allergies and food intolerances. Food allergies are true allergies and show the characteristic symptoms of itching and skin problems associated with canine and feline allergies. Food intolerances can result in diarrhea or vomiting and do not create a typical allergic response. Fortunately, both food intolerances and allergies can be eliminated with a diet free from offending agents, by the use of Premium Dog Food.

Common food culprits

Several studies have shown that some ingredients are more likely to cause food allergies than others. Some examples of the most common offenders in dogs are beef, wheat, corn, and soy.

As you may have noticed, the most common offenders are the most common ingredients in dog foods. This correlation is not a coincidence. While some proteins might be slightly more antigenic (symptom producing) than others, many proteins are similar in form and the incidence of allergic reactions are probably associated with the amount of exposure. For example, pet foods have historically been made up of beef, chicken, corn, and wheat.

In an effort to combat food allergies, several companies produced a diet made of lamb and rice. There was nothing special about Premium Dog Food lamb and rice diets except those two ingredients were normally not present in pet foods. Animals had not eaten lamb or rice before, and therefore, had not developed an allergy to it yet. If the main ingredients in pet food become lamb and rice, then it would stand to reason that the most common problem foods could become lamb and rice. In addition, many lamb and rice-based foods contain many other ingredients, and if the animal has a food allergy to any of them, this lamb and rice food will do nothing to treat the food allergy.
