How to Order Iams Kangaroo & Oat Prescription Dog Food

Food allergies can be tricky to isolate and diagnose, and often, the process of elimination is the only way to determine exactly what food your dog is allergic to. Putting your dog on a novel food trial diet may be the best method for isolating a food allergen. You can purchase a commercial dog food, such as Iams kangaroo and oat prescription dog food, to accomplish a novel food trial, or if your dog has known allergies to common ingredients, such as chicken and lamb.

      Discuss your dog̵7;s allergy symptoms with your veterinarian. Itchy skin, recurrent ear infections, irritated eyes and/or paw licking can indicate an allergy. If the symptoms do not vary with the seasons, they may be related to food. You may already know that your dog has food allergies, or you may need to determine what, if any, food allergies it has.

      Whether you need a unique, prescription dog food to determine a food allergy, or if you already know what your dog is allergic to, you must work with your veterinarian if you would like to try Iams Kangaroo and Oat prescription dog food.
