What To Feed A Dog With Allergies

Try a Limited Ingredient dog food for your dog’s allergies

There is a lot of confusion as to what kind of dog food you should feed a dog with allergies. There is a hypoallergenic dog food, an allergy dog food, a grain-free dog food, an organic dog food, and a limited ingredient dog food. All of these different types of dog foods can help dogs that suffer from allergies, and each is just a little bit different. You really must look at your particular situation to figure out which is best for your dog.

A limited ingredient dog food, such as Natural Balance LID, is one that uses very few ingredients, around 5 to 7 different food ingredients. This helps you isolate and determine which ingredients might be causing your dog’s allergy symptoms. You want to look for a food that has ingredients that are not in your current dog food. Natural Balance LID comes in the following flavor:

• lamb and brown rice
• bison and sweet potato – grain free
• venison and sweet potato – grain free
• chicken and sweet potato – grain free
• duck and potato – grain free
• fish and sweet potato – grain free
• vegetarian – dairy free, animal-product free

These dog foods contain no artificial flavors, or colors. The vegetarian, potato ,and sweet potato flavors also contain no wheat, barley, rice, or corn which are common allergens, if you want to go for a grain-free option. Most of the combinations include proteins and carb sources that are new to most dogs (with the exception of the chicken).

Company History

Natural Balance was co-founded by actor Dick VanPatten, and for the longest time was known as Dick VanPatten’s Natural Balance. They have since dropped the actor’s name, but not what he originally wanted in a dog food. As an avid animal lover, he noticed back in the late1980′s that a lot of the dog foods were made with lots of inferior ingredients and loaded with fillers. His vision was a good dog food “with no bad stuff in it”. The result was a premium dog food, called Natural Balance Ultra Premium that has stood the test of time. As years went on, they added more specialized lines of their dog food, including: L.I.D. (limited ingredient diet dog food), Organic Formula (an organic dog food), Alpha Grain-Free (a grain-free dog food), and LIT Healthy Bones Dog Treats (Limited Ingredient Treats).
