Adapting Dog Recipes for Food Allergies
Just like humans, dogs can develop food sensitivities and allergies. The most common allergens in dogs are proteins—specifically chicken, beef, dairy, and wheat. If your dog exhibits signs of allergies (such as itchy paws, recurring ear infections, or loose stool), switching proteins is often the first step.
When swapping baking ingredients like binders or flours, keep moisture ratios in mind. For instance, coconut flour is highly absorbent and requires significantly more water or egg to bind compared to oat flour. Always transition your dog to new ingredients gradually over 7 to 10 days to prevent digestive upset.
