What dogs and people are allergic to is as individual as their finger/nose prints! There are antibody/antigen test that are done - two vials of blood are drawn and sent to a lab. That will give you a definitive answer as what the allergies are. From there, you adjust the diet, and the enviornment to reduce the assault on the body by allergins. I saw a dog who was alleric to chicken and believe me, whether fed raw or processed there was a problem.
