If your pet is suffering with undiagnosed digestive issues or skin irritations that result in incessant biting or licking, he might be showing signs of food sensitivities. You probably feel helpless in trying to determine the cause and, more importantly, the solution.
The simplest way to determine if the problem is food-related is to remove the ingredients most commonly responsible for food sensitivities: chicken and grains. Going one step further, you can feed a limited number of ingredients, experimenting until you find ingredients that work well for your pet.
Foods and treats that include a limited number of ingredients will actually boast this right on the package! Koha Pet defines this category like this:
"Limited Ingredient Dog Foods are specially formulated diets designed with fewer components to help minimize pet food allergies. They typically include a single source of quality protein and a minimal list of fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates. This streamlined approach helps reduce the risk of triggering allergic reactions and digestive issues."
