Wheat-free Dog Treats for Pets with Allergies
Humans have food allergies (I’m supposed to avoid dairy and gluten myself), and pets can have food allergies too. Grains, especially, can be problematic since they’re not something dogs would eat in nature. If your furry friends have skin problems, dull coat, or stools that aren’t properly formed, it may be a food allergy!
If your dog is allergic to wheat (like soy, a fairly ubiquitous substance), you’ll be happy to know there are dog foods and dog treats out there that avoid the substance. These treats, for example, are wheat free:
The “Chicken Stew Wheat-Free Meatball Dog Treats” consist of natural chicken, rice and vegetables in a meatball dog treat.

You’ve probably heard that Omega-3 oils (such as come from fish) are good for humans, but did you know they are also beneficial for animals? The right kind of fatty acids can help treat allergies, skin diseases, poor coat, and a barrage of more serious illnesses that can arise from feeding a highly processed diet (which–like most human food that comes in cans, boxes, and bags–most of the stuff you buy at the pet store is). Get natural and try a fish oil supplement.
