You might consider a novel protein diet, but it will be hit or miss.Before you make the assumption that your dog has a food allergy ask your Veterinarian to rule out more common sources of allergy.The most common allergens in pet food are the large protein molecules, like beef or chicken.

What happens if you feed a dog non dog food?

Depending on the food being given. The results can be anything from nothing happening to causing serious medical problems due to the dog having an allergic reaction to the food or something on/in the food, such as herbs and spices or being given a food that is poisonous/harmful to dogs. Therefore, the only food that should be given to your dog are foods that are specifically made for them or that is recommended by a veterinarian.


What can you use to stop your dog from itching from allergies?

If a dog is itching, it may be allergies, but always use a flea treatment (from your vets, to be sure if works) to rule out fleas first. Next you need to make sure there are no substances in the house the dog is allergic to - switch to hypoallergenic cleaners/washing powders and see if the itching improves. If this doesn't help, try a food trial - the best food from this is from your vets, but you can try lean chicken and rice, or a hypoallergenic dog food (as long as the dog isn't allergic to the ingredients in the food! Trial and error can take a while). If these don't work, you neecd to talk to your vet. Remember, if the dog has broken skin, hair loss or redness of the skin you should always take them to see the vet first. Even if you get rid of what the dog is allergic to, once the 'itch-scratch' cycle is in place (or the skin is infected), they will never get any better without veterinary intervention. Treatment for allergies is life-long and can be very expensive; make sure your dog is insured with a 'life-long' policy!
