Canine food allergies are the result of an immune-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to dietary proteins and can manifest as a variety of dermatologic and/or gastrointestinal clinical signs. Food elimination trials followed by provocation tests are used to diagnose food allergies; however, no research has been conducted to determine whether elimination trials and provocation tests are being properly implemented by pet owners. The objectives of this study were to determine the level of knowledge of dog owners regarding food allergies, and to investigate how dog owners approach diagnosis and treatment with their veterinarians. This information will provide veterinary teams with insight on how to work with dog owners to obtain successful diagnosis and treatment. The results indicate that appropriate diet selection for the food elimination trial, owner education on compliance during the trial, and re-challenging with the previous diet should be the focal points for veterinarians suspecting food allergies in a canine patient.
犬类食物过敏是对饮食蛋白质的免疫介导超敏反应的结果，可表现为多种皮肤和/或胃肠道临床症状。食物排除试验后进行激发试验用于诊断食物过敏；然而，尚未进行研究以确定宠物主人是否正确实施排除试验和激发试验。本研究的目的是确定狗主人对食物过敏的了解程度，并调查狗主人如何与兽医进行诊断和治疗。这些信息将为兽医团队提供有关如何与狗主人合作以获得成功诊断和治疗的见解。结果表明，食物排除试验的适当饮食选择、试验期间主人对依从性的教育以及用先前的饮食重新激发应是怀疑犬类患者食物过敏的兽医的重点。
