What is the cause of food allergies in dogs? If a dog presents symptoms of chicken allergies, does that mean that they have always been allergic to the protein structure found in chickens, or did they develop the allergy later on?
Also, I've heard that once a dog displays symptoms of food allergies, they have to be given a protein source that they've never had before. Why is this? Do they become allergic to every kind of protein that they've previously encountered? Can an owner just try to isolate the particular protein source that is causing the problem?
