Trends and Products: Food Sensitivity
Pets can develop allergies or intolerance to certain foods and ingredients. Allergic reactions include hot spots, hives or itchy, irritated skin. When a pet suffers from food allergies, one popular course of action is to get the pet on the right diet. Limited ingredient food and treats are typically crafted to reduce the number of ingredients a pet is exposed to with the purpose of avoiding an adverse food reaction.
