Allergies are one of the most common health concerns for dogs and cats, and they can leave both pets and their owners feeling frustrated. Constant scratching, licking, red or irritated skin, loose stools, and chronic digestive upset can all be signs of food-related sensitivities. Many pets eating kibble diets may be reacting to certain ingredients — and in some cases, the way the food is processed — which can trigger or worsen these symptoms.
At our store, we offer complete and balanced raw diets for dogs and cats that can provide relief from many allergy-related issues. Here’s why raw feeding can make a difference:
- Limited, High-Quality Ingredients
Our raw diets are made with fresh, minimally processed meats and wholesome fruits and vegetables, without the fillers, by-products, or artificial additives often found in kibble. This makes it easier to identify and avoid common allergens such as corn, wheat, soy, and certain rendered proteins. - Naturally Moist and Nutrient-Rich
Raw diets retain their natural moisture and heat-sensitive nutrients because they’re never cooked at high temperatures. This means pets get more bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to support a strong immune system and healthy skin barrier. - Better Digestive Health
Pets with food sensitivities often struggle with gas, diarrhea, or loose stools. The natural enzymes in raw food, combined with easily digestible proteins, can help improve digestion and produce smaller, firmer stools — often within just a few weeks of switching. - Skin and Coat Improvement
When the immune system isn’t constantly battling food triggers, inflammation decreases. Many pet parents see a noticeable improvement in skin condition, reduced itching, and a shinier, softer coat after transitioning to a balanced raw diet. - Tailored Protein Choices
If your pet reacts to common proteins like chicken or beef, our store carries a variety of novel protein options — such as duck, rabbit, or venison — that can help reduce allergic flare-ups while still providing complete nutrition.
Making the Switch
When transitioning your pet from kibble to raw, we recommend introducing the new diet gradually over 7–10 days. This allows your pet’s digestive system to adapt and helps you monitor for improvements in symptoms. All of the raw diets we carry are complete and balanced, meaning they meet your pet’s nutritional needs without the need for extra supplements.
If your pet has been struggling with itching, digestive upset, or other allergy-related symptoms, a switch to a high-quality raw diet could make a world of difference. Stop by our store — we’re happy to help you choose the right formula for your pet’s unique needs.
