Evaluation of the efficacy of an ultra-hydrolyzed diet in the management of chronic diarrhea in dogs

Abstract

Background Food responsive enteropathy (FRE) represents the most important cause for chronic diarrhea (CD) in dogs. Elimination diets and rechallenge are considered the gold standard to diagnose FRE. Treatment trials with commercial hydrolyzed diets are frequently performed in dogs with CD, but few studies have evaluated their efficacy.
