What has happened to our meet food supply that most of the allergies come from meat that dogs have eaten for hundreds of years?

There is a long list of causes of skin allergies in dogs. First we must look at the diet of your dog. According to veterinary allergists, animal protein can be an allergen.

Since when? Some of our pets are allergic to beef, some to chicken, turkey. The animal protein most seem to do well on is duck, rabbit and salmon.  If you wonder why they are not as allergic to these three meat sources can be easily explained. I was talking to my vet yesterday and we were discussing how very much better my dog was doing on a new kibble I had tried.  It had no beef, no chicken, no lamb no corn and no wheat.

Why would those proteins cause allergic reactions?  All beef, chicken and lamb go to the slaughter house.  It is there that the different meats are sorted into groups and then processed. We’ve all heard about the hormones they inject all cattle with and the monstrous conditions in the slaughter houses.  Meat is recalled on a regular basis when it is tested and found to have contaminants in them. Health inspectors go to the slaughter houses and randomly test.  What about all the meat that does not see the hawk eye of the tester?
