An elimination diet for dogs typically lasts between 8 to 12 weeks. This period allows enough time for any allergens to leave the dog's system and for you to observe improvements in their symptoms. During this time, it's crucial to feed your dog a single protein source and a single carbohydrate source that they haven't eaten before. After the elimination phase, you can gradually reintroduce other foods one at a time to identify any potential allergens. Always consult with your veterinarian before starting an elimination diet to ensure it's appropriate for your dog's specific health needs.
