Choosing the right diet is an important part of supporting your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. While chicken is a commonly used ingredient in pet food, some dogs and cats may experience adverse food reactions to certain dietary components, which can vary from one individual to another. 

Within the Vet Expert portfolio, there are specific diets formulated without chicken, offering alternative nutritional options for pets with particular dietary needs, always under veterinary guidance. 

 
How can you tell if your pet may have a food-related sensitivity? 
 
Some signs may indicate that your pet is not responding well to their food, such as: 

✔️ Frequent scratching or excessive paw licking 
✔️ Red, irritated or inflamed skin 
✔️ Hair loss or thinning coat 
✔️ Digestive issues such as diarrhoea, gas or vomiting 
✔️ Recurrent ear infections 
 

⚠️ Important: these signs are not sufficient on their own to diagnose a food allergy or intolerance, nor to identify a specific ingredient as the cause. Similar symptoms may be associated with a range of medical conditions. A consultation with a trusted veterinarian is essential for proper evaluation, diagnosis and dietary recommendations, which may include diagnostic tests and/or a supervised elimination diet.
