Food intolerances and allergies occur when your pet’s immune system reacts to something, frequently innocuous. The gastrointestinal tract and skin are two very sensitive organs which are exposed to all manner of things and sometimes the body can’t cope. When this happens your pet’s immune system reacts with food intolerance or allergies.

Your dog will present with increased itchy skin or diarrhoea because it is reacting to a specific ingredient in its food such as animal or vegetable protein which is potentially allergenic. It doesn’t matter how much or how little of something your pet’s food contains, because even the smallest trace can trigger a bad allergic reaction. Unfortunately, pet owners can only rarely identify the exact ingredient which causes an allergic reaction. Most pets don’t suffer from extreme allergies but rather from a variety of food intolerances. No matter whether it is a clinically recognised specific food allergy or a more general intolerance of certain ingredients or nutrients, it can be distressing and worrying for you and your pet.
