15 Best Dog Foods for Collies with Allergies
My Brandy has bad food allergies. Besides allergy shots of Cytopoint every eight to ten weeks, the doctor recommended Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein kibble. It’s by prescription and you can purchase at Chewy. Brandy was not a fan. I’m not big on kibble either. So I asked for more options even if I had to cook. She said venison and rabbit were the best two things to feed her because these two animals are healthy eaters and are not feed the garbage like most of the proteins we eat. They are not on steroids or antibiotics. Fortunately, we have friends that are hunters so we can get the meat through them. Though I have also purchased both online D’Artagnan Meats. You can also check to see if your local mom and pop pet store carries venison and rabbit. I understand some do. Just watch the ingredients. Hope this helps and good luck.

What kind of reactions are you seeing? Our boy seems to have a sensitive tummy with no obvious trigger. We have him now on the Biome prescription diet by Hills. We add some Glandex (also prescribed by the vet to keep his bowel movements firm) and a probiotic. With that, we mix a little bit of wet food with his dry to keep him interested. Chicken seems safe, and salmon, so we stick with those flavours. The Biome seems like a miracle food for sensitive tummies.

Nutro Limited Ingredient Lamb and Sweet potato. There is also venison and sweet potato. Its has gotten very pricey since inflation has hit. It is now $96 for a 22lb bag. We started out paying $60 for a 22lb bag. Ugh!

Finding the Best Food for Your Allergic Collie
Finding the right food for a Collie with allergies can take time, but many owners see major improvements by switching to limited-ingredient diets, novel proteins like venison or lamb, or veterinarian-recommended formulas. The foods listed above come from real Collie owners who have successfully managed allergy symptoms in their dogs. Since every Collie is different, working closely with your veterinarian and carefully monitoring ingredients can help you find the diet that keeps your dog healthy, comfortable, and itch-free. As always, be sure to consult your veterinarian before making any health changes to your Collie’s food.
