3. **Patience with the Elimination Diet:** It’s tough. It’s boring. It might make your Dane look at you with the most judgmental eyes you’ve ever seen. But it’s the gold standard for identifying food allergies. Stick with it!

4. **Become a Label Detective:** Learn to read those ingredient lists like a pro. "Chicken" hides in many forms.

5. **Embrace New Foods:** There are so many fantastic chicken-free dog food brands and recipes out there. Your Dane might discover a new favorite protein!

6. **Advocate for Your Dane:** Be their voice. Educate friends, family, and pet care providers about their dietary needs.
