Why is my dog or cat allergic even if I feed GO! Natural Chicken Fruit and Vegetables

The reason an immunological response against a specific protein (or food allergen) such as in Go! Natural Chicken Fruit and Vegetables, is mounted in certain individuals is not fully understood. .

The potential allergenic portion of dietary proteins can be minimized by enzymatic hydrolysis to produce low molecular weight proteins. Decreasing the size of the proteins that are ingested reduces the chances of  a protein reaction. However how well the protein is hydrolyzed greatly impacts the success of its use as an alternate protein source.

There are many possibilities as to why dogs develop food allergies. Genetics, age, poor digestibility of proteins, a defective mucosal barrier, and increased mucosal permeability, due to a variety of reasons are all predisposing factors. Proteins that are incompletely digested have more potential to incite an immune response to the residual antigenic proteins.

Highly digestible proteins are completely digested to free amino acids and small proteins which have less potential to elicit an allergic response.  Go! Natural Salmon meal protein contains highly digestible protein, which is rapidly digested to free amino acids and smaller proteins.
