A prospective double-blinded study evaluating threshold doses of dietary allergens that trigger adverse food reactions in dogs, and time to flare after exposure

IntroductionAdverse food reactions (AFR) are a common cause of chronic pruritus in dogs and often present as atopic dermatitis. However, the threshold dose of dietary protein required to trigger clinical signs of AFR, as well as the time to onset of those signs, remain poorly defined.MethodsThis prospective, double-blinded study aimed to determine the approximate dose of food protein required to elicit clinical signs in dogs with previously confirmed AFRs and to assess the time to flare (TTF) fo
