My dog has allergies. What's a safe diet avoiding grain-free issues?

Question

My dog has food allergies, carrots, rice, egg, beef peanuts and corn along with some environmental allergies. He was administered Cytopoint 2x but the 3rd time it did not work. As soon as I found out he was allergic I did switch his diet to avoid those items (which is grain free) but now the FDA alerted veterinarians and the public that foods containing large amounts of peas, lentils, other legumes, and potatoes could lead to heart problems in dogs. Do you have any suggestions for a better diet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 4 months old | 23 lbs

Given all of George's food allergies, it might be better if you did a homemade diet for him. There are two websites that have recipes for homemade diets formulated by veterinarians who are specialists in veterinary nutrition, and that can help you tailor a diet for him that avoids the foods he is allergic to but gets grains into his diet to avoid grain free. I will put links to the websites below. I hope this helps! https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
