Cutaneous Food Allergy
Cutaneous Food Allergy: when are elimination diets indicated, and how should we juggle treatments and diet trials to maximise patient outcomes?
Pruritic dermatitis is a very common presentation in both dogs and cats, and although food allergy/adverse reaction is one of the possible causes, dietary trials are difficult for many owners.
