My dog ate wheat treats. Is wheat a common allergen for dogs?

Question

How common is it for a dog to be allergic to wheat? I got treats that have wheat in them. Is this a common allergen? Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 17 lbs

Good question! Wheat is actually a pretty uncommon allergen for dogs. Dogs with food allergies are more often sensitive to the protein source than the grains. The new grain free market is more based on diet concerns in people. So unless your vet has had reason to limit the wheat in Chloe's diet, I think those treats should be just fine. Hope this helps!
