An Overview Of Allergen Free Prescription

By Daniel Sullivan


Allergen free formulas have recently entered the pet food market since people have been feeding their cats and dogs just commercial diets that do not basically have the best quality of proteins, grains and toxic additives and preservatives. There are foods that are known to be free of these substances and are best recommended since they help avoid allergies. Allergen free prescription is generally the reason why food products are labeled so that people are aware of what they are consuming.

It is has now become an opportunity for those companies that manufacture these foods that cause these reactions to dogs and cats since they can now bridge the gap by providing the foods that do not cause allergy and are biologically fit to the animals. For dogs they can take specific types of food like chicken that is hydrolyzed, cellulose in powder form of soy bean oil that that is stored in citric acid.

Most of the companies that earlier on used to sell allergic pet food are now stocked with variety of allergic free food. Cases of skin irritation on your dog, itchy red eyes, poor coat and diarrhea has reduced and you can be sure to feed your pet without any worry now. For those dogs that have an adverse reaction to food starch, powdered cellulose, soybean oil preservative, and hydrolyzed chicken liver should be included in their diet since they cannot bring any effect on them.

Mostly people prefer to go for certain type of proteins which is inexpensive and they feed them to pets for such a long time and this leads to development of reactions towards those type of proteins more especially the low grade ones. If not well informed one may assume that the problem would be the animal but actually it is the fact that these nutrients are of such a poor quality that they are not assimilated or digested by the animals body.

According to the animals physiology it is supposed to feed on high quality proteins and not diets that are steady and only contain a byproduct of meat such as soy products, corn, wheat or rice, potato starch that are toxic.

An appropriate feeding pattern should involve eliminating grains and rotating the healthy required foods such that you do not feed the animal the same type over and over because that too can cause a reaction. If you realize that the animal has a certain intolerance it is upon you to figure out what is the cause and avoid taking the matter in hand and trying to solve it by buying a type of food that you fell will be tolerant.

When you have a suspicion that the animal has certain intolerance to food you should look for the source of the whole problem. You can visit a doctor so that you can get clarity of the matter. You might have fed the animal the same food for the longest time and he has already gotten sensitivity.

When the elimination period is over then reintroduction of the proteins can be done and from there it is possible to determine what the allergen is and quit using it. It is common to have situations where a products that were formally accepted now being intolerant.
