Pet Food Allergy Choices

For pet food allergies food choices: a “Novel” protein animal food diet will usually include a protein source(s) that the animal will not have had exposure to. A “Hypoallergenic” protein Superpremium cat food diet may be described as “novel” protein diet as well, but often includes only one protein source.

A “Limited Antigen” diet is relatively new, and includes protein sources such as hydrolyzed protein (an acid or enzymatic process), or modified fractionated soy protein. These protein sources have been molecularly altered to remove the “inflammatory” portion of the protein.

Animals are only allergic to the protein portion of a plant or animal source. Previous exposure is necessary for the intolerance or allergy to occur.  Symptoms include itching, ear infections, paw licking, diarrhea, hot spots, and other maladies.  It’s important to feed your pet a food for pet food allergies.
