How to choose treats for an itchy dog
Year-round itching on the paws, face, ears and belly can be a sign of a food reaction. The usual culprits are proteins a dog has eaten for years, most often beef, chicken and dairy. A novel protein is one your dog has never eaten, so its immune system has no history with it.
The catch is that a novel protein only helps if it's the only protein your dog eats. Vets run food elimination trials for 8 to 12 weeks, and a single chicken-flavoured treat during that time can undo the whole trial. That's why every BEANS treat is one ingredient and nothing else: rabbit is 100% rabbit, kangaroo is 100% kangaroo.
Pick a protein your dog hasn't had before and that isn't closely related to its current food. If your dog reacts to chicken, avoid turkey too, since the two are closely related. Rabbit, kangaroo, venison and ostrich are good starting points for most Singapore dogs, which are usually raised on chicken, beef and lamb.
Food isn't the only cause. Singapore's heat and humidity also drive dust mite, yeast and flea allergies, so talk to your vet if the itch doesn't settle. Our Allergy & Itch soft chews add quercetin, salmon oil and lysine to support skin from the inside. They're for dogs only and contain pork, so leave them out during a strict elimination trial unless your vet agrees.
Common questions
What is the best treat for a dog with food allergies?
A single-ingredient treat made from a protein your dog has never eaten, such as rabbit, kangaroo, venison or ostrich. It must contain no other proteins, flavourings or fillers, or it can trigger the same reaction you're trying to avoid.
Can I give treats during an elimination diet?
Yes, as long as the treat is the same novel protein as the trial diet, or another protein your vet has approved. Single-ingredient freeze-dried treats are a common choice because there's nothing else in them.
Are these treats safe for cats with allergies too?
Yes. BEANS freeze-dried treats are single-protein and suitable for both dogs and cats. Our soft-chew supplements are made for dogs only.
