Allergies in cats and dogs are common. Both the causes and symptoms are often similar to those in humans. For example, pollen, house dust and spores can lead to allergic reactions such as itching or redness. This is due to an overreaction of the immune system to certain substances, although these substances are usually harmless. You should react accordingly to an allergy in cats and dogs, but you can rest assured.
BARF against food allergies in cats and dogs
An exclusion diet can help to counteract a food allergy in cats or dogs. In this process, you first switch your four-legged friend's diet to an unfamiliar type of animal that your animal has not eaten before. In the BARF shop, horse is often the first choice, but goat meat or lamb are also frequently chosen. When BARFing for allergy sufferers, you should make sure to choose as exotic a selection as possible.
Once you have gotten your pet used to the new food for two to three weeks, you can give your four-legged friend beef , for example. Then observe the reaction, switch back to the more exotic meat and repeat the process with other foods. This way you can gradually rule out the allergy in both cats and dogs. It is best to consult a vet. Because they are offered separately, both BARF for dogs and BARF for cats are ideal ways to carry out an exclusion diet.
