Some dogs have allergies, sensitivity and intolerance to commonly used proteins and food additives can result in gastrointestinal upsets and chronic or recurrent ear infections, hair loss, excessive scratching, hot spots and skin infections. Simple Food Solutions formulas only contain 5 main ingredients carefully chosen for their quality, nutritional value and their ability to nourish with simplicity. Utilizing our unique 1 + 1 system, we combine one novel animal protein source plus one easily digestible carbohydrate source with a short, yet complete list of key ingredients -- and nothing extra. Five Main Ingredients: 1. Duck, Lamb or Salmon are chosen as "novel," high quality alternative to common proteins like beef and chicken due to its unique amino acid profile. 2. Canola Oil - This high quality fat source is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids to help your dog maintain healthy skin and coat from the inside out. 3. Tomato Pomace - An ingredient rich in the antioxidant lycopene and an excellent dietary fiber source to help maintain digestive health and produce healthy stools. 4. Vitamins & Minerals - A complete blend of everything your dog needs for daily wellbeing including antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. 5. Ground Rice - With the bran layer removed, ground rice is easy to digest. No additional carbohydrate sources are used like wheat, barley, oatmeal or corn.

Food Allergies and Ingredient IntolerancesFood intolerance refers to a gastrointestinal response triggered by certain ingredients. For instance, a dog with a sensitive stomach may not be able to tolerate certain ingredients that then lead to diarrhea, vomiting or irritable bowel. The reasons for food intolerance are unknown.
A food allergy refers to an immune response to a particular ingredient in food that can cause itching, scratching, hot spots, hair loss, ear and eye secretions or excessive licking. A dog may be born with specific allergies, or they may build over time from prolonged exposure to certain ingredients. The most common food allergens for dogs are beef, dairy products and wheat. (The most common offenders are some of the most common ingredients in dog foods.)
