Pork is another underutilised protein that many allergy-prone dogs tolerate well, simply because they've never been exposed to it before. If your dog reacts to chicken, beef, and lamb, pork might be the answer. Paired with grain-free sweet potato, this meal provides a completely different protein and carbohydrate combination than what most dogs are used to, giving their immune system something new that hopefully won't cause a reaction.
