Why Do Dogs Become Allergic to Certain Ingredients?

Just like us humans, dogs and other animals can develop allergies to certain ingredients. When a certain ingredient/s causes a reaction to the immune system, we can consider that they are allergic to the certain item.

If you are feeling bad for your allergic little puppies, don't be! Because with the advancements in science and our knowledge in how to deal with the allergic reaction has made it a lot easier for our furry friends. 

That being said, here are some reasons why some dogs' immune system triggers a response to certain foods-

• Genetic Reasons

There are certain predisposed factors like genetic components that can cause allergies. What you can do is talk with the veterinarian. 

There are certain breeds like pit bulls, retrievers, boxers, cocker spaniels, german shepherds, etc. that are more prone to allergies. Get to know what to look out for and what steps you can do if your pet indeed is having an allergic reaction.

• Proteins

A lot of food allergies in dogs are caused by certain protein sources. 

Some of the common allergens are proteins in beef, chicken, soy, eggs and even dairy. Some are allergic to wheat.

• Overexposure and sensitization

You may find it comforting to know that your pet has consumed and digested certain foods well, for years; sometimes! And sometimes, the lack of variety and the overexposure to a certain element may cause sensitization to ingredients. 

Don't worry, speaking to your veterinarian will always help you provide the best meals to your pets!

• Weak gastrointestinal barrier

A strong gastrointestinal barrier helps the prevention of absorption of the allergens, and when a dog has weak gastrointestinal barrier, unfortunately they are prone to infections, inflammations and often trigger an allergic reaction.

If you suspect that your furry friend has an allergy, it is always the best option to speak with a veterinarian. It is vital to determine the underlying reason for your dog's allergy, and only then you can find the best solutions, make dietary changes and eliminate certain ingredients for good from their diet. You may also have to find a better replacement to keep the nutritional elements balanced and involve hypoallergenic foods.

Understanding Allergies in Dogs

Humans and animals both can suffer from some common and some rather rare allergies, and based on how much of a threat our immunity systems consider a certain ingredient, the symptoms can vary from mild to severe.

• Food allergies are common in dogs, their symptoms may include itching, inflamed skin, digestion issues and vomiting, diarrhea, some even shed more hair or get ear infections.

• Sometimes ticks or fleas may cause allergies and reactions, where they cause intense itching, hot spots, secondary skin infections or even develop fevers.

• Some are allergic to chemical substances like cleaning products, fabrics, or even to some plants. These may cause localized itching and swelling to certain affected areas of their skin.

• You may have smiled when your dog sneezed once or twice, but gotten worried if it didn't stop or caused some more problems like watery eyes, nasal discharge and issues with regular breathing. In that case, they may be allergic to environmental elements like pollens, dust, molds or some plants or fragrances.

You may have noticed that itching and hair loss is not only present in multiple allergic reactions, but these are sometimes reactions to boredom or even stress. Don't worry about being judged for asking doubts, consult a vet! A proper  diagnosis will help you with better treatment and happier times with your dogs!

Allergies are certainly unexpected in most cases, and it is just difficult for us - pet parents to see our pets go through traumatic experiences, not even being able to communicate with us! Once we know what the allergens are, we can make the necessary changes to give our dogs a pawsome life!
