Raw Feeding and Allergies: Supporting Your Dog’s Health Naturally

Allergies can be frustrating for both dogs and their owners. Whether it’s itchy skin, chronic ear infections, or digestive issues, finding the root cause can feel overwhelming. Many pet parents are turning to raw feeding as a natural solution to help manage allergies and improve their dog’s overall well-being. Here’s how raw feeding can make a difference for allergy-prone dogs.


Understanding Allergies in Dogs

Dogs can experience allergies triggered by various factors:


  • Food Allergies: Common culprits include grains, fillers, and artificial additives often found in commercial pet foods.
  • Environmental Allergies: Pollen, dust mites, or mold can cause symptoms, but diet can play a role in managing them.
  • Flea Allergies: Hypersensitivity to flea saliva, which can be exacerbated by an unhealthy diet.


A raw diet eliminates many allergens found in processed foods, making it a popular choice for dogs with sensitivities.


Why Raw Feeding Helps with Allergies

Switching to a raw diet can alleviate allergy symptoms and promote better health. Here’s why:


1. Limited Ingredients

Raw diets, like the blends from Natural Raw Dog Foods, are made with simple, whole ingredients. This eliminates unnecessary fillers, grains, and artificial additives that often trigger allergies.


2. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Raw diets are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation and soothe itchy, irritated skin. Ingredients like fish or cod liver oil in our blends can provide these benefits naturally.


3. Improved Digestion

A healthy gut is essential for managing allergies. Our blends include nutrient-dense ingredients like sweet potatoes and pumpkin, which support digestion and help dogs absorb nutrients more effectively.



4. Strengthened Immune System

Raw feeding provides natural sources of vitamins and minerals that boost the immune system, helping your dog fight off allergens more effectively.


Choosing the Right Blend for Allergy-Prone Dogs

At Natural Raw Dog Foods, we offer blends that cater to sensitive dogs. One popular choice for allergy-prone pups is our Duck Dinner Blend, which is:


  • A novel protein less likely to trigger allergies.
  • Rich in essential nutrients to support skin and coat health.
  • Easy to digest, making it ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

Success Stories

Many pet parents have seen dramatic improvements in their dog’s health after switching to a raw diet. From reduced itching to a shinier coat, the benefits are undeniable. One customer shared, “Since switching to Natural Raw Dog Foods, my dog’s chronic ear infections have disappeared, and her coat has never looked better!”


How to Transition to Raw for Allergy Relief

If your dog is struggling with allergies, transitioning to raw is a step toward relief. Here’s how to start:


  • Choose a Balanced Blend: Start with a single-protein option like Duck or Turkey to identify potential triggers.
  • Transition Gradually: Mix raw food with your dog’s current diet over 7-10 days to avoid digestive upset.
  • Monitor Symptoms: Watch for improvements in skin, digestion, and energy levels.

For many Ontario dog owners, the question of whether raw feeding is better than kibble is top of mind. At Natural Raw Dog Foods, we firmly believe that raw feeding provides unparalleled benefits. Unlike kibble, which often contains fillers, preservatives, and artificial ingredients, raw food delivers fresh, natural, and nutrient-dense meals tailored to your dog’s needs. Raw feeding promotes better digestion, shinier coats, healthier skin, and higher energy levels—all signs of a thriving dog. Additionally, raw-fed dogs often have smaller, less odorous stools, making clean-up easier for pet parents.
