Do You Want to Avoid Common Allergic Triggers in Dog Food?

It can be overwhelming to choose the right food for your dog. There is so much conflicting information everywhere you look. Some say, use grain free, some say feed your dogs like the wolves were fed in the wild, some say be sure your dog food has antioxidants, some say make your own food, homemade dog food is the best. Just what is a pet parent suppose to do? How can any pet parent determine exactly what is the best from so many choices and so many conflicting answers to what is best to feed your dog.



Dr. Jane Bicks is formulator for Life's Abundance Dog foods. One of her main goals when formulating a new food is to keep up with the most current thinking in nutrition while making the Life's Abundance foods live up to the highest standards possible.

Two of the most popular buzz words right now are "paleo" and "limited ingredient." What do these two words actually mean? Are paleo or limited ingredient diets what your dog really needs?

What does the evidence show?

Paleo diets have seem to be the "thing" in human nutrition for the past few years. Thus far, there is not any one strict definition of a paleo diet. The general idea is that if a caveman did not eat it, neither should you or in the case of dogs, "your dog." Basically, the paleo diet avoids all processed foods such as cereals, pastas, and added sugars. The paleo diet does not advise eating grains and advises to keep carbohydrate sources limited to vegetables and fruits.



A paleo diet is nutrient-dense having every ingredient chosen for a purpose. Carbohydrates chosen are those that cause less peaks and valleys in blood glucose and energy levels throughout the course of a day. Paleo diets avoid things like fillers and artificial colorings and flavorings. A classic paleo diet does not allow the use of legumes like peas or lentils, which in fact, are excellent sources of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Limited ingredient diets came into being due to a wave of pet parents being concerned their dogs had food allergies. Fact is more the number of dogs who have food allergies is not as large as the number of dogs who have "food allergy symptoms."

The idea behind limited ingredient diets is to limit intake to proteins to an unusual source that a pet has not eaten before and carbohydrates that a dog has not eaten before, and hopefully create a diet for the dog that does not trigger food allergy symptoms. The end result of this thinking brought about diets such as kangaroo and oats, or duck and peas.



The most common ingredients that cause food allergens in dogs are:

  • beef
  • chicken
  • lamb
  • wheat
  • corn
  • eggs
The above ingredients amounts to the most common used ingredients in pet foods. If your dog has a true food allergy, he or she is probably going to need to undergo an elimination trial and all sorts of testing to see what is going on and then move onto a special diet for the rest of his or her life. If he or she has some minor symptoms of food intolerance or if you are just trying to avoid the major allergens in dog foods, it can be cost prohibitive to put your pet on a novel protein diet of which many are "prescription-only" or are not meant for all life stages. In the long run of things, it just does not make sense to seek out one of these diets if you do not have to due to medical necessity.

Many dogs may not have food allergies, but pet parents still want to avoid the common triggers by feeding high quality, novel proteins that taste delicious and support optimal health. With these needs in mind, Life's Abundance developed the newest addition to the Life's Abundance family of foods, which is the Canned Pork and Venison dog food.

This formula holds true to the paleo ideas of being grain free. The carbohydrate sources are peas and lentils, both excellent sources of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. The protein sources are pork and venison, which are extremely rich nutrient-dense protein sources that taste amazing.

Canned foods are great for triggering the appetite because they have more potent smell. The aroma of Life's Abundance Pork and Venison is simply "yummy." Even better is that it is formulated to be appropriate for all life stages, from weaning puppies. to geriatric seniors, even seniors with missing teeth can easily eat and digest the Life's Abundance Pork and Venison formula.
