Food Allergies or Intolerances are perhaps the single most frequent reason a pet might visit the vet.
Itchy skin, ear infections and gastrointestinal upset may be symptoms of a food allergy, and switching to a raw diet can be the answer to treating the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Allergy symptoms may be an over-response of your pet’s immune system to a particular protein.
Proteins are present in almost all the food your dog or cat will consume. We know that meats are a source of protein, but even vegetables and grains contain proteins that may be problematic for your pet.
Food trials, or elimination diets, are the single most effective way to determine food sensitivities.
Most commercial pet food has multiple ingredients, so determining which protein is causing the allergic response can be very difficult.
With raw feeding you can clearly identify the protein triggering the allergic response when you feed a single protein diet for a period of time. LUNA & me offers a wide selection of single proteins.
Additionally raw diets work to restore the health of the digestive tract. A healthy digestive system is critical in eliminating allergy symptoms.
