Category Allergies
Brachycephalic breeds appear to have higher rates of both environmental and food allergies compared to other dogs, resulting in itchy skin, ear infections, digestive upset, and respiratory irritation. Common triggers include chicken, beef, dairy, dust mites, pollen, and grass—and the symptoms can be frustrating to identify and manage. Our allergy guides help you distinguish between food and environmental allergies, walk through elimination diet protocols, review hypoallergenic food options, recommend supplements that support skin and immune health, and provide strategies for minimizing environmental triggers in your home.
