High Sensitivity Foods: A Guide to Understanding and Eliminating Triggers

The foods listed here are identified as high-sensitivity items for your pet. This means your pet’s immune system may react strongly when exposed to these foods, potentially causing discomfort or health issues.

This page is your starting point for understanding what foods to avoid to improve your pet’s quality of life. Together, we can help your pet feel their best by identifying and managing their unique sensitivities.

Why It’s Important to Start Here

Overexposure to high-sensitivity foods can lead to increased intolerance over time.

Sensitivities may develop when certain foods are repeatedly consumed, especially if your pet’s digestive system is already under stress.

Eliminating these foods is the first step toward alleviating symptoms and improving your pet's overall health.

Intolerances Can Change Over Time

The good news is that food intolerances are not always permanent. Sensitivities can regress with careful management, allowing your pet to enjoy a more varied diet in the future. By removing high-sensitivity foods from their meals now, you give their system the chance to recover and rebuild tolerance.

How to Eliminate High-Sensitivity Foods

Identify the Culprits: Begin by removing the foods listed in your pet’s report. Use this as a strict guideline for meal planning.

Check Ingredients Carefully: Ensure that all treats, supplements, and packaged foods are free from these ingredients.

Monitor Changes: Observe your pet’s behaviour, energy levels, and overall health during the elimination period.

Moderate Sensitivity Foods: A Balanced Approach to Management

The foods listed here are classified as moderate-sensitivity items for your pet. These foods are less likely to trigger immediate or severe reactions but could still contribute to discomfort if consumed in large quantities or too frequently.

How to Manage Moderate-Sensitivity Foods

Flexible Inclusion: You can continue to include these foods in your pet’s diet as occasional treats or in lower quantities. Moderation is key—avoiding regular or excessive feeding can help minimise any potential adverse effects.

Adjust Frequency: Consider limiting these foods to rare occasions rather than making them a staple in your pet’s meals. This approach allows your pet to enjoy a varied diet without exacerbating sensitivities.

Understanding Food Weightage

Sensitivity levels are determined by the weightage of reaction detected during testing.

Moderate sensitivity indicates that while the reaction is not severe, it is present and should be managed carefully.

By being mindful of portion sizes and frequency, you can prevent these sensitivities from becoming more pronounced over time.

Striking the Right Balance

Moderate-sensitivity foods provide some flexibility in your pet’s diet but require thoughtful management.

By incorporating these items sparingly, you can continue to provide variety while supporting your pet’s overall health and wellbeing.

Environmental Sensitivities: Understanding Your Pet’s Triggers

This section highlights your pet's environmental sensitivities, encompassing both high and moderate levels. These sensitivities are managed similarly to food sensitivities, with a focus on reducing exposure and monitoring reactions to create a more comfortable living environment for your pet.

Managing Environmental Sensitivities

High Sensitivity: Items in this category may provoke stronger reactions in your pet. Minimising or completely avoiding exposure to these triggers is recommended to prevent discomfort or exacerbation of symptoms.
Moderate Sensitivity: While these items may not cause severe reactions, reducing their presence in your pet’s environment can still help improve overall wellbeing. Occasional exposure may be manageable, but it’s best to limit frequency where possible.

Why Reduce Exposure?

Environmental sensitivities can affect your pet’s quality of life, leading to skin irritations, respiratory issues, or behavioural changes.

Overexposure to allergens can amplify symptoms over time, while limiting contact may help their system adjust and reduce adverse reactions.

Building a Healthier Environment

By identifying and managing both high and moderate environmental sensitivities, you can create a space that supports your pet’s comfort and vitality.

Small changes, such as adjusting cleaning products, controlling pollen exposure, or choosing pet-safe materials, can make a significant difference in their daily life.

Vitamin and Mineral Imbalances: Supporting Your Pet’s Nutritional Needs

This section focuses on addressing your pet’s unique vitamin and mineral imbalances. Identifying and managing these deficiencies is essential for supporting their overall health and wellbeing.

How to Use the Glossary

At the end of your Pawllergy report, you’ll find a detailed glossary that provides suggestions for addressing specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This resource is designed to guide you in selecting natural food sources to help balance your pet's diet.

Identify the Deficiency: Review the report to see which vitamins or minerals your pet may be lacking.
Consult the Glossary: Use the glossary to find natural food sources rich in the required nutrients. For example, if your pet is low in Vitamin A, the glossary will list foods you can incorporate into their diet to boost this nutrient.
Incorporate Natural Sources: Where possible, choose fresh, whole foods to meet your pet’s nutritional needs. Aim for variety to ensure a balanced diet.
