Unfortunately none of the text directly answers the question of whether dog food allergies go away. However some information related to the question is provided Food allergies have a genetic basis although environmental factors can also have an impact. Recent research suggests that different environmental factors in early puppyhood or kittenhood may increase the chance that the immune system overreacts to certain food substances. However a genetic predisposition for this overreaction must first occur for an allergy to develop. An elimination diet is the most effective way to determine a food allergen as there is no valid blood or intradermal skin test for food allergies. The dog or cat must consume nothing but the novel diet for 8 to 10 weeks. During this time allergy symptoms should gradually disappear.

Can food allergies be cured?There is no cure for food allergies in dogs. The only treatment is avoidance. Some dogs will require medication during severe episodes, but most pets can be successfully treated with a hypoallergenic diet. Dogs that have developed an allergy to a particular food may develop other food-related allergies in the future. In addition, many dogs with food allergies have other allergies, such as atopy or a flea allergy. Is it likely that my dog will develop other food allergies?Dogs that have developed an allergy to a particular food may develop other food-related allergies in the future.
