If your pet has a true allergy, over-the-counter diets will likely not resolve their allergies. An unknown ingredient within an over-the-counter pet diet can lead to allergic reactions in your pet. Commonly, pet food is processed in a facility where many diets are made using the same machines just like many candy bars are made in facility where nuts are present. Within the week, your pet is itchy, has ear infections, and their belly is red. Despite their owner’s best attempt to avoid certain foods, a small amount can slip in, leading to years of suffering. You identified that your pet gets itchy, ear infections, and a red belly after feeding them chicken, so for years, you have fed them an over-the-counter fish-based diet. Unbeknownst to you, this new diet has unlabeled chicken in it due to the way the food is processed.
