Content Inside:
The purpose of this prospective, multicenter clinical study was to determine if novelprotein therapeutic foods with enhanced levels of fatty acids and antioxidants aid in the management of chronic pruritic dermatitis in dogs with suspected atopic dermatitis and/or adverse reaction to food. The test foods were appropriate for adult dogs and were available in dry and wet forms. Potato and salmon were the major ingredients in one food. Potato and venison were the major ingredients in the other food.

The following minor features were often present: onset before 3 years of age, facial erythema or perioral inflammation, bacterial conjunctivitis, superficial staphylococcal pyoderma or positive allergy test (intradermal tests and/or allergen-specific IgE serology).
