Allergen-Free Dog Foods

Dogs, like humans, are prone to allergies and have similar symptoms, such as excessive scratching or ear and eye infections. About 10 percent of dogs are allergic to an ingredient in their food. There are several allergen-free dog foods on the market to help allergic pets get the proper nutrition without feeling miserable.
