Here is a general overview of popular dog foods based on price for some brands marketed as suitable for dogs with food allergies.

On the less expensive side, Chicken Soup dog offers more fruit and vegetable in their recipe and includes potatoes, carrots, peas, apples, tomatoes, blueberries, cranberries and spinach.

Avoderm is manufactured from avocados to promote healthy, glowing, beautiful skin and coat. Vegetarian options are also available.

Eagle Pack offers a Holistic selection that costs a little bit more, but it is comprised of antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics, and protein rich recipes. There are no hormones in the chicken and the fruit and vegetables are fit for human consumption.

Blue dog food or rather Blue Buffalo dog food bases its recipes on what humans eat, with high protein, whole grains, veggies and fruit. Because of their unusual ingredients such as sweet potato and brown rice, dogs are unlikely to have encountered these foods before, and therefore less likely to be allergic. Blue Buffalo dog food comes as dry and canned varieties (although some of their products were involved in a product recall in 2007).

Similarly, Pinacle's Canine Holistic Allergen-free Formulas for dogs contain foods that dogs don't have much exposure to, like trout and oats. Common foodstuffs that cause allergies such as wheat, beef, and corn are not found in Nature's Recipe dog food. Innova makes EVO which is a high protein diet with veggies and raw fruit.

Life's Abundance dog food does not contain by-products, corn or wheat, chemical preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. Typical ingredients include chicken meal, fish meal, carrots, apples, spinach, celery, alfalfa meal, ground brown rice, antioxidants, live probiotics and chelated minerals.

The Abady dog food company makes frozen raw diets for dogs containing fewer unwanted foods such as soybeans, beet pulp, and others. Expensive canned and dry formulas can also be purchased.

IVD dog food ,known at present as Royal Canin, manufacture recipes which are breed specific, and special recipes like Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Hypoallergenic HP 19 that is a lactose and wheat gluten-free recipe.

Remember though, these recipes may be a quick fix. If you do suspect your dog has food allergies, you would be better off analyzing which foods are causing the problem and then feeding accordingly.

Your veterinarian can guide you if needed, and if your dog is showing signs of food allergies, it is best to have him looked at by a professional.
