THe most common food allergens are corn, wheat and soy, again most of the foods that are 3 stars and up will have any of those ingredtents But if you are stilll having troubles , it is usually recommended that you try a limited ingredient diet example has only one source of meat and one grain,(many pets who have food alergies can be allergic to multiple ingredients). as it makes it easier to rule what she may be allergic to, example some dogs are allergic to certain types of meat or certain types of grain, so at first you may want to try a food with just chicken are rice, if still having a problem you could try a lamb a rice formula, if all goes well than you know chicken is one of the problem ingredients, if not the you can try a fish and potato formula, that way you are eliminating the rice plus trying a different meat source. Nailing down allergies can be tough, as it can mean sometimes a lot of food trial as some dogs will have multiple food allergies Symptoms of possible allergies is itchy skin and re-occuring ear problems.

But if you are stilll having troubles , it is usually recommended that you try a limited ingredient diet example has only one source of meat and one grain,(many pets who have food alergies can be allergic to multiple ingredients). as it makes it easier to rule what she may be allergic to, example some dogs are allergic to certain types of meat or certain types of grain, so at first you may want to try a food with just chicken are rice, if still having a problem you could try a lamb a rice formula, if all goes well than you know chicken is one of the problem ingredients, if not the you can try a fish and potato formula, that way you are eliminating the rice plus trying a different meat source.

If the dog is vomiting bile or experiencing soft stool that could be a sign or a food intolerance, the difference between an allergy and an intolerance is the symptoms,

As for possible food and treat suggestions
Canidae makes a couple one meat protein one grain foods
they also lamb and rice biscuits

Innova EVO does have multiple meat formula but use potatoes instead of grains they have 2 foods formula( ared meant and white meat formulas) as well as grain free treats made with white meats

California Naturals has a lamb and rice formula food and treat they also have a Herring and sweet potato food

Wellness also make allergy foods called simple food solutions that come in duck or venison formulas they also have a treat called Pure Rewards that is grain fee meant for pets with allergies , and also have wheat free treats

If you are feeding a food with wheat and corn, the prices of the foods without will be a fair bit higher often, but because they have less fillers your feeding portions are smaller, especially when you get into grain free foods For example if I fed one of the cheapest foods I would need about 8 cups a day for my 84 dog but I feed the Innova EVO RM and because he is a serious couch potato he eats 1 1/2 cups a day so the difference in the amount I need to feed helps to offset the cost as the bag of food lasts longer

Pig ears can cause pancreas problems in dogs and they are recalled all the time due to the fact that they often have salmonella.... Give your dog carrots, and other fruits and vegetables. They absolutely love them, and it's great for them. The little peeled baby carrots are great for training, dogs like them, and you can bite off little pieces and use them for treats.. It's one of the few baits/ treats that you don't mind having in your mouth :) Check out the Canidae, it’ is wheat free..

They have been in the buisness for 30 years and make great products. They have wheat free food and treats. Click on a product you are interested in and you will see the ingrediant list. Based on your dogs activity level you will also pick which food will be best. My dogs love their food. You can locate a store near you that sells it on their website.

This is the dry kibble that I feed to my dog. It is dry kibble, it isn't raw, although it is meant to be rotated with their raw diet, you can feed it as a stand-alone diet. It has NO GRAINS WHATSOEVER. It's great. You didn't say where you are in the US, so you'll have to go to their website and use their retailer locator to find a store near you that sells it. As a reward, use dessicated liver. You should be able to find it at most pet supply stores, under lots of brands. It's basically real, raw, freeze dried liver with no added colors, flavors or preservatives. You can find freeze dried chicken treats too, but they tend to be more expensive. If you want to give her things to chew on, look for raw marrow bones. The best wheat-free dry food brand that I know of is Nature’s Variety Raw Instinct (which I think is just called Instinct now).
