Reply #7: Yes food allergies in dogs can be deadly. [View All]

[Lizzie Borden]

Your vet i s your best resource. You can have the dog tested for the allergies (costs about 100.00) You will receive a complete list of the food your dog is allergic to. In my case it was a Dobe. She came back as allergic to: rice,deer meat, lamb, chicken, corn, soybeans, etc. I tried to put her on an allergy sesitive diet but it onlyy worked for about a week. I found out that an astouding number of these supposedly non-allergic diets had eitherlamb, soybeans ( to bring up the protein level) or rice. If you have your dog tested, the company that tests will send you a list of dog foods that they think your pet wil be able to tolerate. It's worth the bucks. A dog having bloody diarreah can drop a lot of weight in a big hurry.
