From dry and wet dog food to raw, there are hundreds of options available, and it can be hard to work out what’s actually best for your pet.The BVA told us: 'We don't recommend a raw food diet, at least without a vet's guidance. This is for two main reasons: the nutritional deficiencies that often come with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A) and the risks associated with handling raw food – both for the pets and the household.' However, the BVA warns that it can be difficult to do it well and, unless you work with a veterinary-trained nutritionist, there's a risk of harm to your pet’s health. Do dogs need different food as they get older? Vitamin A is involved in cell growth and division, as well as hair growth and skin maintenance. Since some of the key symptoms of food allergies include damage to the skin, it is important to include Vitamin A in hypoallergenic diets to help clear up the damage done by any previous allergic reactions a dog may have had. Ingredients in dog food that function as a source of vitamin A are fish oils such as cod oil.

Designed for all adult dogs, including seniors, this diet is particularly suitable for dogs that suffer from food intolerances. In addition to avoiding grains, and any ingredients that commonly cause intolerances, this recipe contains a controlled level of fat and protein, which is designed to meet a dog's nutritional needs but not exceed them. In most cases adverse food reactions develop over time, therefore if you have a healthy dog or cat you should consider rotating between food varieties to avoid your pet being exposed to the same ingredients over and over. This should also help to identify whether or not there is an adverse food reaction (you may see your pet improve or worsen on one particular variety). However, if your pet has already had problems and is doing well on one particular variety of food it may be best to continue with this diet.
