adverse food reaction









































an adverse food reaction is an adverse response by the body to food or a specific type of food.









































the most common adverse reaction is a food allergy, which is an adverse immune response to either a specific type or a range of food proteins.









































however, other adverse responses to food are not allergies. these reactions include responses to food such as food intolerance, pharmacological reactions, and toxin-mediated reactions, as well as physical responses, such as choking.

food allergies account for approximately 10% of allergies in both dogs and cats. food allergies are often mistaken for food intolerances, which can result in vomiting and diarrhea instead of dermal issues. in most cases where food allergies occur, they do so with foods that cats eat most often. common food allergens in cats include beef, dairy, fish, eggs, and chicken. preservatives and other additives are also occasionally involved in triggering an allergic reaction. there is no specific breed or age range that food allergies target; however, there are certain breeds that are more susceptible to food allergies than others. for example, siamese and siamese crosses may have a higher risk of food allergies than other breeds.
