Why do dogs get allergies?

Just like humans, dogs get allergies. And just like humans, the reason is rooted in having an immune system that overreacts to certain substances. When our bodies react to normal substances in the environment (allergens) and treats them as threats, we have allergic reactions. The same process happens in dogs. Like humans, dogs can be allergic to foods (such as wheat) and chemicals (such as pollen).
