Hypoallergenic Dog Food, an introduction.
Dog food with organic any hypoallergenic propreties are not easy to find but you can do it!
With the most allergic dog in the world as my tester, we brought home bag after bag and can after can home so that Spooky could test them.
Most good hypoallergenic dog food can be found at small specialty shops.
Usually a very good bag of dog kibble or canned will have a money back guarantee. I took advantage of this to try about 8 types of kibble and canned.
You can see the types of food that Spooky test tasted. He could tollerate many of these foods but one was so rich in fats that he developed Pancreatitis. All I had to do was buy the senior dog formula which had much less fat and the Pancreatitis stopped. If you think your dog may have Pancreatitis take him to the vet. Make sure it is not something else that is making your dog sick.
There are plenty of dog allergies caused by other things than food. Dogs never had allergies in the old days. Why? because they were eating food without additives, without pesticides and without hormones. Our dogs and ourselves too, would be better off eating only food that is fresh, doesn't come out of a box or bag or plastic bottle.
Take for instance butter verses margarine. Butter comes right out of the cow, churned a bit and solidifies into butter, all by itself. Margarine on the other hand is produced from vegetable fats. Manufacturers produced oleomargarine by taking clarified vegetable fat, extracting the liquid portion under pressure, and then allowing it to solidify. When combined with butyrin and water, it made a cheap and more-or-less palatable butter-substitute. Colorings are added and stabilizers to make it harden. What a lot of work to produce a product when butter is just butter.
The dog food sold in markets and pet shops and even dog hospitals have gone through all this kind of production. All kinds of toxins and chemicals are added. Even Mc Donald's grease to make it taste good, hold up in a bag or can, look the right color (food colorings) and BHT to make sure it doesn't rot in the can or bag. Hmmm. Does that sound right to you? It sure doesn't to me.

Once I picked up two cans of dog food from different lots and I noticed a markedly difference in weight! What had they done to make it lighter? I opened up the can and it was full all the way to the top but I really began to wonder what exactly were they putting in that food? Did they mix it with air to make it fill the can and if they did that how did they keep the food from settling to the bottom of the can. It was very disturbing and decided you can't trust what's in dog food from batch to batch.
