Suitable for allergy-sensitive dogs
"Suitable for allergy-sensitive dogs" for an ingredient in dog food means that the ingredient in question is classified as low allergenic. This means that it has a lower risk of triggering allergic reactions in dogs that are prone to allergies. Allergies in dogs can manifest themselves through various symptoms such as itching, skin rashes, digestive problems or ear infections.
Some dogs are sensitive to certain proteins, grains or other additives in their food. For allergy-sensitive dogs, it is therefore important to pay attention to ingredients that are known to trigger allergies less frequently. These often include alternative protein sources such as lamb, duck or fish and carbohydrate sources such as sweet potato or peas, which are less likely to trigger allergies than traditional ingredients such as beef, chicken or wheat.
It is important to note that each dog is individual and what is well tolerated by one dog may cause allergic reactions in another. It is therefore advisable to be particularly careful when choosing food for an allergy-sensitive dog and, if necessary, to consult a vet or a nutritionist specializing in dog food.
