The digestive tract and skin are two of your pet’s most sensitive organs and they come into contact with many different substances. Your dog can develop allergies or intolerances to foodstuffs of vegetable or animal origin. Typical symptoms are itching and inflammation of the skin, as well as sickness and diarrhoea.
