Chicken is the number one food allergen in dogs, which makes sense when you think about how much chicken is in commercial dog food — kibble, treats, wet food — it's everywhere. If your dog is among the many who are allergic to chicken, this beef and oat combination provides a satisfying, nutritious alternative. Oats are one of the gentlest grains and are often tolerated even by dogs with grain sensitivities.
