Your best bet is your vet. I had a dog that was part poodle and heavens knows what else was mixed in her (got her from the SPCA) and she was a beautiful dog. Unfortunately, she had a lot of Allergies (ears, skin) and my vet gave me a special diet for her (tinned and dried food). In a matter of a few weeks I began to see a great difference in my pet. The food was more expensive than store bought dog foods, but she was worth it and it saves in the long-run on vet bills. If your dog is in misery and scratching a lot and unable to sleep the vet can also give them a shot that will help and it lasts quite a while. It will ease the constant scratching until the new diet starts to take effect on your dog. Also, if you bath your dog use an oatmeal based shampoo as it helps their skin and a little cod liver oil helps as well (check with your vet first.)
More InformationYou need to identify WHICH protein sources are a problem for your dog, and WHICH vegetables. After that, it's a relatively simple thing to avoid those specific food sources... especially if you are feeding a raw diet. If the Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods (BARF) diet doesn't appeal to you, there are several good dog foods out there these days. Some of my top recommendations would be Go! Natural (their grain free variety), Innova Evo, or the grain free variety of Solid Gold. You really do need to identify which specific foods your dog has problems with first though. Typically things like elk, bison, and fish are going to be safe for most any "allergic" dog - and can be readily accessed especially when feeding raw. AnswerNatural Balance has an actual Allergy formula that is good for a dog with lots of allergies and if he is allergic to all meats they do have a vegetarian formula that works really good to. It's always good to go grain free with a hypoallergenic dog. Taste of the Wild, Evo, Innova, Natural Balance, Wellness, and Fromm all have a formula that is grain free. Stay away from any grains especially corn, wheat, and soy also stay away from chicken and animal by-products and any kind of dyes. Look for foods that have potatos, sweet potato, apples, blue-berries, cranberries, carrots, and peas. Good meats or a dog with allergies would be venison, lamb, bison or even elk. Fish would be a good one but it's one of those foods that dogs can get sick of eating quickly so if you decide to go with a fish formula I would mix it with another protein or only feed it for a few months add a little variety to the dogs diet. Answer:Pet Food Recalls Up To April 16, 2008 (some brands called before this and have been rectified.) Many law-suits (example: Blue Buffalo have law suits pending):Visit your vet and be sure your dog is tested for what type of protein they are allergic too (there is also vegetable protein and just not meat) and if they are allergic to vegetables at all or it's the dog food. There is also the choice of a Holistic Veterinarian.Please go to the FDA link below:

I have a dog with extreme allergies. I have had blood work done to see what he was allergic to and it helped a lot. I use Z/D formula dog food from the vet. You will not find it in a pet store. It is hypoallergenic food and he does excellent on this food.

∙ 15y agoI assume you know what your dog is allergic too, anyway I would avoid dog foods with grains in them, feed your dog vegetables, brocolli, green beans, squash, cauliflower along with cooked turkey or chicken, if you must use dog food there are ones sold that are grain free now, but expect them to be expensive. You can feed other vegetables, but if your pet is a diabetic you cannot feed high sugar content vegetables like carrots or potatoes. hope this helps

∙ 14y agoIt would really depend on what the dog is allergic to but for the time being you might try using dog food made with duck rather than beef, chicken, fish, or pork. It is available either at vets office (more expensive) or places like Petsmart and Sam's.

∙ 14y agoI have two pugs that have a lot of food allergies. I had my vet do an allergy test on them to learn just what foods they were allergic to. Then I had to do a lot of research to find a food that had no foods that either of them were allergic to, which took some time because some of their allergies were different from the other. But it can be done.

∙ 12y agoYes, have you heard of feeding your dog leftovers?
If so you should do it. Like for instants try feeding your dog chips.
I have fed my dog chips, so it hasn't harmed her at all.

What dog food is recommended by veterinarians?
i can answer that i think it is lams My vet recommends Natural Balance/Duck and Potato flavor for my dog-so I guess it depends which vet you talk to......plus, it depends what ailments your dog currently faces (ie. my dog has food allergies, hence Natural Balance/Duck and Potato flavor is hypo-allergenic and is compatible with a food allergy "patient :)
Who picked Barack Obama's dog?
The Obama family needed a dog that was hypo-allergenic, because Malia has allergies. It was recommended that the Portuguese Water Dog is generally a breed that doesn't cause problems for people with allergies, and then-Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts bought one for the family. They named the dog Bo, and by all reports, he has not aggravated Malia's allergies at all.
Controlling That Hounding Itch - Treating Dog Allergies?
Man’s best friend can also share one of man’s worst enemies - allergies. There is nothing as bad as a constant itch and constant itching is even worse in dogs who cannot even share their misery with you. If your dog is constantly scratching, has red, inflamed skin or is losing his hair, he could have allergies. There are three types of allergies in dogs - inhalant allergies, food allergies and contact allergies. Inhalant allergies are the most common and hardest to treat. Contact allergies are the least common. Identifying what type of allergy your dog has is the first step in treatment. Dog allergy treatment is effective over 90% of the time. Inhalant allergies occur when a dog inhales a substance he is allergic to. This could be anything from dust mites to pollen outside. Some people classify flea allergies in this category, but it is not a true inhalant allergy. Inhalant allergies are often seasonal. Some strategies to combat common inhalant allergies are to not let your pet stay in the room as you vacuum, wash your pet’s bedding at least weekly in hot water, don’t let your dog go into tall grass and bathe him off after he goes outside. If your dog has fleas, he should be treated with a flea medication. Even one flea can make a dog with allergies miserable. Food allergies occur when your dog is allergic to something he eats. If your dog eats people food, you should eliminate this from his diet. Then feed your dog one brand of quality food until you find a brand he can tolerate. Special rice and potato dog food can be purchased from your vet for the dog who has extreme food allergies. Contact allergies occur when your dog touches or lies against a surface that has something on it he is allergic to. If your pet has contact allergies, consider switching to baby shampoo for baths and using a free and clear detergent to wash his bedding. Supplementing your dog’s diet with fatty-3 omega acids and biotin has been shown to improve the condition of their skin and coat and reduce the symptoms of dog allergies. Your vet can also prescribe steroids and special shampoos to reduce the itching and inflammation of your dog’s skin. Finding an effective dog allergy treatment helps your dog be healthier and happier.
