Allergic dog: Is cooked salmon safe? What hypoallergenic diet is best?

Question

She's having bad allergic reactions to something at home. We are going to put her on an organic diet to help. We have given her a small cube of salmon to see if she would like it and she tastes then raises her lips, cocks her head, even rolled over and pawed at it. She won't eat it but keeps going back to taste. I have heard yes&no about salmon. Is salmon okay if frozen or cooked to kill parasites? What do you recommend for hypoallergenic natural diet if she doesn't like/can't have salmon? Pet's info: Dog | Alsatian | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 67 lbs

Rodrigo Roca, DVM · Accepted Answer

Cooked salmon is fine. We typically recommend avoiding the frequent proteins found in regular diets. This may include chicken and beef mainly. For novel proteins, we typically recommend venison, duck, or rabbit. You can find commercial diets with these ingredients. Occasionally, pets may also be allergic to grains, so selecting something with a single ingredient such as potato and duck is usually the best option. Hope this helps and best of luck.
