Hypoallergenic dog food, also known as 'anti-allergy dog food', is made using ingredients less likely to trigger an allergic reaction in dogs - done by using a single source, novel and/or hydrolysed protein, usually absent of common allergens such as grains, dairy, beef, chicken, eggs, and soy.
All options are great for dogs with food allergies and sensitivities including; Skin allergies- Food allergies- Digestive problems- Inflammatory bowel disease- Pancreatitis- Chronic diarrhoea.
The top hypoallergenic food choice for your dog will depend on their individual needs and occasionally needs a trial and error period to find the right food or protein source for your dog, so it's important to talk to your veterinarian before making a decision.
Yes, hypo dog food can be highly effective for many dogs with food allergies or intolerances.
Designed to minimise allergic reactions, it can drastically improve a dogs wellbeing.
Make sure to research properly and speak to your vet before feeding any pet a hypoallergenic diet.

Foods designed to help with allergies do a number of different things. Diets with a limited number of ingredients reduce the chance of giving them a problem-causing ingredient. Unusual proteins, that your dog is unlikely to have eaten before will help reduce the risk of a reaction. Hydrolysed proteins are also good. It is almost always a protein that causes an allergy. Hydrolysis breaks the protein down into smaller pieces using enzymes. When the protein is broken down then the body is unable to recognise it so doesn’t react to it. Omega-3 fish oils can support the body's natural anti-inflammatory process to help with the distressing itching your dog will be experiencing. There are a number of commercial foods available that have limited ingredients, unusual ingredients or hydrolysed proteins, these should give you a diet that doesn’t cause an allergic response.

Limited ingredient dog foods address the presence of allergens by including just one protein source, (such as beef, lamb or chicken), often combined with just a single carbohydrate source. When shopping for limited ingredient dog foods it's important to check for a seal of approval from the Association of American Feed Control (AAFCO), as well as a "complete and balanced" claim from the manufacturer. Prescription Dog Food If your dog's food allergy symptoms are severe, your vet may recommend that you feed your dog prescription dog food. While this option can be pricey, novel protein and hydrolyzed diets available by prescription only are typically superior to those that can be purchased over the counter. Grain-Free Dog Food If your pet has a sensitivity to corn, wheat and other, then a grain-free dog food may be ideal. These foods have the added benefit of also being gluten-free. Novel Ingredient Dog Food 'Novel ingredient' dog foods replace traditional dog food proteins (e.g beef and chicken) with more unusual proteins such as salmon, duck, or venison. Many novel ingredient dog foods also use alternative carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes to help balance out the diet. After your dog is diagnosed, your vet will work with you to find the best diet for your dog. Many food options are available to help alleviate your dog's food allergy symptoms.
