Can Dogs Be Allergic to Their Own Kibble?
Dogs can be allergic to kibble, and it is not rare; the usual trigger is grain. Descended from wolves, dogs are built to digest protein and fat, so too much wheat, rice, or corn can cause poor digestion and allergy, and tolerance varies by individual. Signs include hair loss, red itchy skin, spots, restlessness, breathing trouble, runny eyes and nose, swollen paws, and gut upset like vomiting or diarrhea. If your dog is allergy-prone, choose grain-free food and introduce any new food in small test amounts first.
