I have a question....can dogs be allergic to something in their food or treats? My dog was itching like crazy last night and had bumps all over is face and legs. I gave him a bath to try to help the itching and it took a while but he eventually was able to relax enough to sleep. The bumps are better this morning, but some are still there. I can't call the vet until 10 am, so I thought I would ask on here to get some advice. His food was recently changed, our other dog isn't having any problems, but I'm worried about him. Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated.

Can a dog have an allergic reaction to its food? Most definitely.

I don't have first hand experience with it, but there are many on this board who have. There are several brands/formulations specifically made for certain food sensitivities.

yes food allergies are very common in dogs. Your vet will proabaly put your dog on Benadryl to relieve the itching. Try to feed a food with no corn or gluten in it, those trigger allergies alot

Thank you. I called the vet and they did say to give him benadryl, which stopped the itching and the hives are gone. I am putting him back on the puppy food he was eating before.

OK so my dog broke out in hives again tonight and I gave him another benadryl. If the allergy was to the food he was eating, how long will it take for it to be out of his system? Does anyone know??
