Beef is a very common ingredient in dog food, but with so much exposure to this protein source, many dogs develop an allergic reaction to it over time.

A dairy allergy can manifest as itchy, irritated skin or digestive issues such as gas, diarrhea or vomiting. An intolerance to dairy can also cause GI distress, so introduce your dog to it slowly if adding dairy to their diet.

As with beef, the prevalence of chicken protein in dog food has resulted in it becoming a common allergen.

A complex carbohydrate, wheat commonly triggers an immunological response in dogs that causes dry skin, rashes and inflammation.
Corn and corn by-products contain very little nutritional value for dogs, but it is an extremely common ingredient in commercial dog foods. Consider switching to a raw or almost-raw diet to avoid an allergic reaction in your dog.

Like corn and wheat, rice is a common “filler” ingredient in dry dog food that gives it structure. If your dog develops an allergy to rice, try rotating between foods that contain rice, corn and wheat, or opt for grain-free dog foods

Alongside beef and chicken, pork is a common dog food ingredient, but the incidence of allergic reactions in dogs is much lower.
