Food allergies can be frustrating for pet owners and veterinarians alike. They often share clinical signs with environmental allergies and can be difficult to differentiate. This presentation discusses the prevalence and diagnostic approach to food allergy, focusing primarily on the elimination diet and the supporting evidence to integrate and maximize the benefit of diet into a successful treatment plan.
