Abstract

Clinical bottom line

Novel allergen or hydrolysed diets are a valid modality for the management of gastro-intestinal symptoms in dogs with chronic enteropathy, however bias in case selection in the literature means a direct comparison of dietary modification versus prednisolone was not able to be achieved. Further prospective trials would be needed to better answer this PICO.
