By reading food labels and making nutritious choices for their dogs, "pet parents" can help ensure that their canine companions enjoy longer, healthier and allergy-free lives.

A majority of dog owners feel their pets suffer from some sort of allergy. While such reactions can be caused by seasonal environmental factors, they are more likely caused by food sensitivities year round. Natural foods for dogs and cats, made with human-grade ingredients, can be an allergy remedy. Pets can avoid allergies by eating a healthy diet made from the same ingredients people would eat, choosing boneless meat, wholesome grains and fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs, while avoiding suspected allergy triggers, such as added hormones and steroids.

Less is more when approaching existing allergy challenges-or preventing them from occurring. Wellness Simple Food Solutions is the perfect example. It contains only five simple, balanced ingredients selected for their nutritional value and health benefits. The few ingredients that go into it are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
