Built for the moment something stops working
When the itching, the ear infections or the soft stools turn from a thing to a problem — that's when this site exists.
Match your pet's triggers

3 ingredients on your dog’s avoid list
Hydrolysed soy protein and soy oil are direct soy-allergen sources. Chicken fat shows up in many "soy-free" formulations and still triggers chicken-sensitive dogs. Maize starch is a mild watch — most chicken-allergic dogs tolerate it, but worth tracking.

Itching & scratching
Drives 15-30% of chronic-itch cases in dogs.
Ear infections

Paw licking & chewing
60%+ of constant paw-licking traces back to an allergy.
Digestive issues
60% of food-allergic dogs show GI signs first.
Hot spots
70-80% of recurring cases sit on an underlying allergy.
Vomiting
Recurring, not occasional? Food trigger worth ruling out.

50+ pet food brands with ingredient breakdowns, allergen profiles and recall history.
I built this because I needed it. My Cockapoo's been managing food allergies for 7+ years and I got tired of squinting at ingredient lists wondering whether "chicken fat" still counts. Every article on this site is sourced; every scan flags the same things I flag for my dog. If something here saves you a vet visit you didn't need, that's the whole point.
