One of the most frequently asked questions
our customers asks is which food we recommend for a pet who has been diagnosed with
food allergies. The list of food allergies that we see is staggeringly long. Commonly
pets diagnosed by their vet with a food allergy are placed
on a prescription diet. These prescription diets are overly processed, contain
hydrolyzed ingredients that are not natural, and many require a degree
in chemistry to pronounce.
Cherrybrook has a more holistic approach to diet and
nutrition for the many pets who have real food
allergies. It starts with us asking
questions about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, getting to know what
your pet has been fed in the past, and understanding what foods have been tried
to address the allergy. Once we have a
background we can then discuss options.
Without exception we always recommend feeding pets with food
allergies a food where the main ingredient is from a single source of protein.
More specifically we like to make sure that the food we recommend is made with a novel
protein, one that your pet has not tried at any point in the past. At
Cherrybrook we have many novel protein options to choose from. Offering a wide
selection of novel proteins means that we have a great
chance of finding a protein that is agreeable to your pet and will help to
relieve their allergy symptoms.
In addition we have many foods with limited ingredients. The
fewer the ingredients in a food, the lower the chances that your pet will react
to something in their food that will trigger an allergic response. All of our
limited ingredient diets are single protein foods and many of options are novel
proteins. Single source and novel protein foods come in all varieties, kibble,
can, raw, freeze dried, and dehydrated. The novel proteins we offer include
commonly known proteins as well as exotic proteins. The list of novel proteins
include:
Venison Unagi Trout
Bison Hoki Salmon
Kangaroo Goat Pork
Boar Brushtail Salmon
Alligator Rabbit Tripe
This list of novel proteins continues to grow. If a novel
protein is recommended, it is important to feed that protein exclusively. In
the past this has meant forgoing even occasional treats for your pet. But that
is no longer necessary. Cherrybrook carries an extensive selection of novel
protein treats to compliment your pets novel protein limited ingredient diet.
Or you can eliminate protein based treats altogether in favor of a pumpkin or
sweet potato treat that will not interfere with your pet’s limited ingredient
diet.
Cherrybrook is proud to offer many all natural and holistic
options for pets that suffer with food allergies. Plus we have a knowledgeable
and experienced staff that is eager to help you navigate through the different
choices and help you select a diet that will give your pet the ability to live
allergy symptom free!
