Food sensitivities in dogs can show up in several ways, most often through skin and digestive issues. Common signs include persistent itching, redness, ear infections, excessive licking or chewing at paws, vomiting, or diarrhea. These symptoms can appear year-round, rather than only in certain seasons like environmental allergies. Natural Balance offers many great options for dogs with food sensitives like their Limited Ingredient recipes and their Specialized Nutrition Sensitive Skin & Stomach formula.

If you suspect your dog has a food sensitivity, your veterinarian may recommend an elimination diet, feeding a simplified recipe with a single protein and limited ingredients, to help identify the trigger. Pinpointing and avoiding the problem ingredient is the key to keeping your dog comfortable and healthy.
