Common food allergens for dogs include proteins such as beef, chicken, dairy and grains like wheat and soy. Symptoms of food allergies in dogs may include itching, redness, swelling, ear infections, vomiting, diarrhoea or changes in bowel habits. Contact allergies in dogs, also known as contact dermatitis, occur when a dog's skin reacts adversely to certain substances it comes into direct contact with. Common sources of contact allergies in dogs include certain plants, chemicals, cleaning agents, fabrics and materials. Allergies caused by contact could be more common in certain seasons of the year, impacted by your pet’s environment. Pollen, dust and certain plants can cause irritation. The most prevalent insect allergen in dogs that causes flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) is flea saliva. Sensitive dogs may experience this allergic response from arachnids like spiders and ticks, as well as insects such as fleas, blackflies, deerflies, horseflies, mosquitoes, ants, bees, hornets, and wasps.

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. 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. Within the week, your pet is itchy, has ear infections, and their belly is red. 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.
