That personal experience led to the creation of a handmade, hypoallergenic treat business\u2014designed with dogs like theirs in mind.<br>This video explores how concerns about pet food quality, factory additives and allergenic ingredients are shaping consumer habits. As more pet owners seek transparency and control over what their animals eat, this story offers an insight into a growing movement for safer, more responsible feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#039;They Can Have Anything Here&#039;: Allergy-Friendly Pet Treats in Newcastle\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_s9O6fm4YlA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><font><em>Also available on  <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_s9O6fm4YlA\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_s9O6fm4YlA\"><mark style=\"color:#d12d2d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">YouTube<\/mark><\/a>  <font> \uff1a<\/font><\/em><\/font><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_s9O6fm4YlA\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/_s9O6fm4YlA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/547c71a6d9033eefec537e6020a46e8-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/547c71a6d9033eefec537e6020a46e8-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/547c71a6d9033eefec537e6020a46e8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/547c71a6d9033eefec537e6020a46e8-1151x1536.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/547c71a6d9033eefec537e6020a46e8-1535x2048.jpg 1535w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/547c71a6d9033eefec537e6020a46e8-scaled.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grain-free and hypoallergenic dog treats displayed at the Newcastle shop, catering to pets with special dietary needs.<br>Photo: Zexiang Liu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"104\" src=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/7a87cfebdaf27acd0711b3675be58c8-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/7a87cfebdaf27acd0711b3675be58c8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/7a87cfebdaf27acd0711b3675be58c8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/7a87cfebdaf27acd0711b3675be58c8-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/7a87cfebdaf27acd0711b3675be58c8-1535x2048.jpg 1535w, https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/7a87cfebdaf27acd0711b3675be58c8-scaled.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A colourful selection of handmade bandanas and bows for dogs, adding style to everyday walks.<br>Photo: Zexiang Liu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"105\" src=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/zexiang-liu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24223\/2025\/08\/0a77017da473ea0fe1f1db705817bf9-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An array of handmade dog biscuits and snacks, all made with natural ingredients and free from grains.<br>Photo: Zexiang Liu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">DISCLAIMER:<a href=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/disclaimer\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/disclaimer\/\">https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/disclaimer\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a small local shop, every dog can find a safe treat \u2014 no matter their allergies.
