Lamb and rice has been the go-to sensitive stomach and allergy-friendly combination for decades, and for good reason. It works. Lamb is a well-tolerated protein for most dogs, and white rice is one of the easiest carbohydrates to digest. This classic combination provides solid nutrition without the complexity that can trigger allergic reactions. If you're not sure where to start with allergy-friendly feeding, this is a safe bet.
