Food

I posted this question a few months ago in another part of the forum, but got no replie

so I thought I would try it here,

Its more of a genral intrest question,

I have noticed in alot of doggy Recipes and dog food and treats that it is Labelled "wheat and gluten free"

I am Celiac myself (allergy to wheat and gluten) and I found this quite Intriguing to see this labbeling in dog foods.

what I was wondering is, is it common in dogs to have this allergy ???

I had never ever thought of it occuring in animals :blink: and just found it very intresting :b

also is it common in whippets ??

(as I know some breeds are more Susceptible to things than others)

Thanks for you time

hi

yes i have noticed more dogs with this condition over the years in vet nursing.

i have a friend with a lurcher who cannot tolerate wheat and is on a gluten free formulated dry food.

i think we feed our dogs too much carbs as a bulk which they do not need.

i am pro raw feeding which is real meat vegetables and a small amount of rice or potatoes occasionally with addition regular raw bones.

i find more and more breeders are pro barf diets and there is alot of info to be found on the internet
