Allergies are a very common cause of itchy skin in dogs. Your dog might be allergic to certain protein molecules in food ingredients, grass, dust mites or many other common things found in its environment. The starting point for a diet trial is with an an-allergenic or hydrolysed diet. These diets are produced by specialist veterinary nutrition companies. Hypo-allergenic diets contain lower levels of proteins which can cause allergic reactions. An-allergenic or hypo-allergenic dog foods can be ordered through the vet practice. Feed ONLY the an-allergenic or hydrolysed diet to your dog for 2 weeks. Challenge 1: continue to feed the above diet, add in a small amount of a single type of protein that was previously in your dogs diet, such as chicken, turkey, white fish, each day for up to 2 weeks.
