My dog is allergic to chicken. Can liver in chews cause a reaction?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 9 years and 8 months old | 32 lbs

My dog is allergic to chicken. I found some krill oil chews that also help keep teeth clean. However, one of the inactive ingredients is chicken liver. Would she have a reaction to the chicken liver since it is part of the chicken?

Yes, she could indeed have an allergic reaction to that product, unfortunately it is extremely difficult to find those type of products free of chicken. my advise would be to try once and see if she reacts to it or not.
