When commercial kibble no longer cuts it<\/strong>, many owners turn to homemade dog food for allergies to help their canines with food-borne sensitivities.<\/p>\n

I know because I did when my dog, Lucky, started itching and avoiding his food. He even got bald spots and started having diarrhea!<\/p>\n

With pre-made food, you never really know what you will get.<\/p>\n

But when I make food at home, I know they're safe, well-cooked, and carefully prepared.<\/p>\n

Food allergy is one of the most common allergies<\/a> in dogs, and it is more likely to be caused by the environment and sometimes genetics.<\/p>\n

However, dogs can still be allergic to various things, including grains<\/a>, dairy<\/a>, corn<\/a>, and meats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, Dr. Jangi Bajwa<\/a>, a Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist at VetDERM Clinic in Surrey, BC, says that:<\/p>\n

The most common cause of a canine food allergy is other protein sources such as chicken, beef, and milk products.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can alter or\u00a0substitute ingredients<\/a> in these hypoallergenic dog food recipes to fit your pup's needs.<\/p>\n

It's one of the most popular approaches to the elimination diet<\/a> to help determine the cause of allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

This way, we found out that Lucky has sensitivities to chickens.<\/p>\n

We're now fixing this with the help of our trusted vet, so all's good. But I'm still feeding him the following homemade dog meals to be safe!<\/p>\n

REMEMBER:<\/strong> These recipes are just loose suggestions and are not good for every dog.<\/p>\n

Always check with your vet before changing your dog\u2019s diet and using any of these homemade dog food recipes for allergies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
