Dogs can experience food sensitivities just like people, and diet is one area owners often explore when their dog has ongoing skin or digestive issues.
A raw feeding approach can give owners greater control over individual ingredients, making it easier to know exactly what their dog is eating.
For some dogs, simplifying the diet and introducing proteins carefully can make it easier to identify ingredients that may not agree with them.
However, changing to raw food does not automatically solve allergies.
Skin irritation, itching and digestive upset can have many different causes, and it is important not to assume that every symptom is food-related.
For dogs with suspected food sensitivities, a structured approach is usually more helpful than constantly changing foods.
Introducing new ingredients one at a time can also make it easier to identify what is working and what is not.
