Allergen list for 2022
There are many different manifestations of allergic diseases in animals, which can affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract and airways.
They are thought to affect up to 10-30% of dogs, 10-20% of cats and 10-50% of horses.
So allergy assessment thus constitutes a significant part of the daily case load at practicing veterinarians.
Food allergies can manifest as itchy skin disease, ear disease and / or as a gastrointestinal problem.
Elimination diet trials are the only accepted method to reach a definitive diagnosis of food allergy.
However, the role of food-specific IgE and IgG antibodies in the diagnostic processing of food allergy is now increasingly accepted.
There are many different allergens that can cause allergies in your dog. Read more about what you need to be aware of and what you can do to help your best friend.
