How to get info relating to best hypoallergenic dog food?
Consult your vet. The vet can diagnose the allergy but an elimination process where the dog eats particular food selected by the vet. However, this takes perhaps a couple of months and if the diet regieme is not followed rigorously, it is useless as a diagnostic tool. The dogs nutritional needs must be met irrespective of what is eliminated in the diet. So called hypoallergenic dog food differs in content even within that "category.: There is no one such formula.

How to get info relating to best hypoallergenic dog food?
In the dog food add various ingredients that can cause allergies. If you have a dog that is allergic, then I recommend cooking dog food yourself. You can cook several pieces of rice with several pieces of beef. The proportion of rice and meat depends on the breed of the dog.

My dog chews her paws constantly she is a white american bull dog help
First thing I would check is the obvious like something that stuck to her paw. Even if you don't see it, you can try slightly squeezing her paw and she seems to be hurt and recoils her paw, that could be the culprit, you have to find a way to get that out. If not hurt, might be an itch caused by a tick or similar. Check between her toes, a very common place for those pest to hide.
If not any of those things, could be anxiety or boredom. Some dogs do that. But iIf she is chewing until she hurts herself, I would check with a vet.

Is maltodextrin toxic to dogs?
This artificial sweetner is approved by the FDA for intake by humans. However, for some, it may yield a host of symptoms ranging from an increase in bacterial infections to all sorts of digestive problems. The substance is added to many products as a filler or sweetener. It is a "supplement."
Vets discourage use of supplements by dogs. Is it toxic to dogs? I do not find literature saying it is toxic. That said, if your dog displayed digestive disorders after intake of this, one would think taking the dog off of it would be something to try.
Here is a list of common foods the eating of which may be detrimental to your dog and comments about one sweetener.

How long does it take for frontline to work
It takes about 24 hours to kill the fleas. In the meantime, vacuum your house really well and when you're done, throw the bag in a plastic bag and put it outside into the trash can. If you have one of those vacuums that have a wind tunnel thing, empty it into a plastic bag, outside, and leave it out there in the trash can until trash day. Fleas can live about 30 days without eating. You may need to spray your yard to kill any fleas out there, and also spray your house. If you have a bird, be very careful and maybe let the bird stay with a friend for a few days. Good luck. This is a very bad year for fleas.

Which treats are good for training my dog?
Any treat whether it is
meaty or crunchy is good enough for your dog, however the treat should be small
enough for it to be consumed quickly so that you dog don't become too involved
with the treat to concentrate on the training.

Why should I give my dog treats?
You
don't have to give your dog treats but I would highly recommend it. The use of treats creates and reinforces a
bond between you and your dog. The use
of treats while training will also help strengthen positive behavior.
