Let's make it clear right away - your four-legged friend's diet should be prepared by a veterinarian, and it is not recommended to change anything without consulting a specialist.

However, it never hurts to know which foods can cause food allergies in dogs.

A specific reaction of the body can be caused by animal proteins, which, of course, are found in chicken, beef, pork and lamb.

Experts also classify wheat and corn as highly allergenic products.

All types of seafood should be named as a potential allergen. Fish, fish waste and other seafood can only be given to a dog in boiled form and only if the pet does not have hypersensitivity.

Dairy and fermented milk products, including milk, kefir, sour cream, fermented baked milk, and so on, also have potential allergenic properties.

You shouldn't treat your dog with yeast dough products.

Finally, it is worth noting that, although vegetables and fruits should be included in a dog’s diet, citrus fruits, tomatoes, pumpkins and eggplants should be avoided.
