Food Intolerances
Food Intolerances
Intolerances occur when your pet has difficulty digesting or an adverse reaction to a certain ingredient ingested. Reactions are usually non-immunological. These reactions usually occur upon contact of the intolerance. Optimal nutrient absorption becomes impaired and the results can cause upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, & sometimes vomiting (symptoms can be hard to differentiate from allergy symptoms at times because the stomach can only express itself in so many ways). Intolerances can be kept under control by closely supervising your pet & learning their intolerances (Lactose intolerance, etc.). Probiotics & Digestive enzymes can help to break down difficult to digest proteins.
Food Allergies
Food Allergies
Food Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts, this produces antibodies to substances that it would normally tolerate. Allergies typically develop over multiple exposures over time to the same brand, food, or form of food.
The most common food allergens in dogs are complex- carbohydrates and proteins, especially those from dairy, beef, chicken, chicken eggs, soy, or wheat gluten. Each time a pet eats food containing these substances, the antibodies react with the antigens, and symptoms occur.
Typical signs of a food allergy are usually itchy skin, paws, or ears or digestive issues such as vomiting or diarrhea. Less common symptoms include hyperactivity, weight loss, lack of energy, and aggression.
Many dogs with food allergies have other allergies, such as environmental allergy or a flea allergy. Allergies cannot be cured, but it can be maintained by avoidance of the allergen and treatment of symptoms.
Probiotics are a safe and natural way to combat your pet's immunological response to allergens. These responses include itching, hives, rashes, bumps, other inflammatory symptoms.
