This could be due to a food allergy or intolerance. However, don’t jump to conclusions; first, visit the veterinarian. Then you can adjust your furry friend’s diet accordingly.\n\nPrima Diervoeding is happy to help you make the right choice in hypoallergenic food. You can also find various \u003cstrong\u003ehypoallergenic dog treats\u003c\/strong\u003e with us.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHave an allergy test done\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nTo rule out a food allergy, it’s best to have your dog examined by a veterinarian first. Have an allergy test done; this not only determines whether there is an allergy or intolerance but also reveals which (animal) proteins your dog is allergic to.\n\nOnce the results are in, you can specifically look for suitable hypoallergenic food and treats. Everything to relieve your sensitive troublemaker from his or her allergic symptoms!\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHypoallergenic; what does that mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nDid you know that the word ‘hypoallergenic’ is a combination of the two terms ‘hypo’ and ‘allergenic’? The term ‘hypo’ comes from the Greek language; it can be translated as ‘less than normal.’\n\nAn allergen, on the other hand, is known as a substance that can cause an allergic reaction in both humans and animals.\n\nBy combining these two words, the term ‘hypoallergenic’ was created. We can explain the meaning of ‘hypoallergenic’ as: ‘less chance of an allergic reaction.’\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do we mean by hypoallergenic dog treats?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWith hypoallergenic treats, we distinguish three different compositions, which we list below.\n\n\u003cu\u003eTreats made with hydrolyzed proteins\u003c\/u\u003e\n\nHydrolyzed, another tricky term. But the meaning is actually very simple; hydrolyzed means that the (animal) protein sources are cut into small pieces.\n\nSo if you see ‘hydrolyzed proteins’ listed on the label, the proteins in the dog treats are cut into small pieces. Why is this done? This way, the body does not recognize the cut pieces as the protein your dog is allergic to. This significantly reduces the chance of an allergic reaction.\n\n\u003cu\u003eDog treats based on unique protein sources\u003c\/u\u003e\n\nMany sensitive and\/or allergic dogs react to the most common meat types in dog food and\/or treats: chicken, beef, and pork. For this reason, these animal protein sources are never used in hypoallergenic dog treats.\n\nTo reduce the risk of unpleasant symptoms, hypoallergenic dog treats are made with ingredients that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.\n\n\u003cu\u003eDog treats based on a single animal protein source\u003c\/u\u003e\n\nFinally, there are also hypoallergenic dog treats that use only one animal protein source. By eliminating other meat types, the chance of an allergic reaction is even smaller. Use these dog treats during an elimination diet; this way, you can find out more quickly which animal protein sources your dog is allergic to.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA food allergy; what is your dog suffering from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nAs much as we want to, a food allergy or intolerance in your dog is not always preventable. Fortunately, there are ways—such as using hypoallergenic food and\/or treats—to reduce the chance of an allergic reaction.\n\nIf you suspect a food allergy or intolerance and the symptoms match those below, have an allergy test done by the veterinarian. The sooner this happens, the sooner you can take action.\n\n\u003cu\u003eSkin and coat problems\u003c\/u\u003e\n\nWhen an allergic reaction occurs, your four-legged friend’s immune system tries to fight the substance causing the allergy. As a result, inflammatory products form in the skin (such as histamine), leading to intense itching in the armpits, groin, and paws. Unfortunately, this often results in skin infections, rashes, or hair loss.\n\n\u003cu\u003eStomach and intestinal problems\u003c\/u\u003e\n\nDoes your furry friend vomit a lot or frequently have loose stools? Then there’s a good chance your dog has a food allergy or intolerance. Additionally, (excessive) flatulence can also indicate an allergy or intolerance.\n\n\u003cu\u003eEar infections that recur regularly\u003c\/u\u003e\n\nDo you notice your dog frequently scratching its ears or shaking its head? Take immediate action, as there may be an ear infection. Don’t be surprised if your dog whines when you touch its ears; an ear infection can be very painful! Also, watch for red spots or unpleasant odors around the ears. These can also indicate an ear infection.\n\nIf the ear infection recurs regularly, it may be due to a food allergy or intolerance.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe hypoallergenic dog treats from Prima Diervoeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nWith the hypoallergenic dog treats from Prima Diervoeding, you treat your furry four-legged friend to a delicious, responsible snack.
