What is Hypoallergenic Dog Food?
Hypoallergenic dog food, also known as 'anti-allergy dog food', is made using ingredients less likely to trigger an allergic reaction in dogs - done by using a single source, novel and/or hydrolysed protein, usually absent of common allergens such as grains, dairy, beef, chicken, eggs, and soy.
