When your dog can’t stop itching, licking, or chewing, it’s hard to watch—and even harder not knowing why. Allergies are often at the root, and the right nutrition can make a real difference.
We work with pet parents to uncover potential triggers and create a personalized nutrition plan that supports skin health and long-term itch relief. Most dogs experience noticeable improvement within 30–90 days.
Common Symptoms
Constant scratching or licking
Red, inflamed skin
Recurring ear infections
Hot spots or hair loss
Digestive upset (loose stools)
Patterns That Matter
Year-round vs. seasonal flare-ups
Worse after meals vs. worse outdoors
Response to diet changes
We will create a personalized nutrition plan for your dog.
Food-related allergies and sensitivities usually develop over time and are often linked to repeated exposure to the same ingredients.
While allergies and sensitivities can look very similar, there is an important difference:
Food allergies involve an immune response to a specific protein (allergen). Reactions can range from mild to severe.
Food sensitivities are gradual reactions to ingredients without immune involvement and are typically less intense, but still uncomfortable.
Symptoms You May Notice
Itchy skin, paws, or ears
Chronic or recurring ear infections
Red or inflamed skin
Excessive licking or chewing
Digestive upset (loose stools, gas, vomiting)
Hot spots or hair loss
Typical Pattern
Symptoms are usually year-round, not seasonal
Flare-ups don’t align with weather or pollen changes
Discomfort may slowly worsen over time
Symptoms often improve once the diet is changed
Common Causes
Repeated exposure to common proteins like beef, chicken, or dairy
Fillers such as corn, wheat, or soy
Artificial additives or heavily processed ingredients
Poor fat balance in the diet, especially low omega-3s
Environmental allergies are caused by things your dog comes into contact with every day—not what they eat. These allergens are often unavoidable, but how your dog’s body reacts to them can be influenced by overall health and nutrition.
Common triggers include pollen, dust mites, mold, grasses, and flea saliva. Some appear seasonally, while others—like dust mites and mold found in homes—can cause symptoms all year long.
Common Symptoms
Intense itching, especially paws and belly
Face rubbing
Red, irritated skin or rashes
Recurrent ear issues
Watery, itchy eyes
Typical Pattern
Often seasonal, with flare-ups during high pollen or grass seasons
Indoor allergens (dust mites, mold) may cause year-round symptoms
Symptoms may come and go depending on exposure
Common Causes
Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds
Mold and mildew
Dust mites
Flea saliva
