Constant scratching or paw licking
Chronic ear infections
Digestive upset (vomiting or diarrhoea)
Hair loss or bald patches
Beef and chicken (most common in SA commercial foods)
Dairy products
Wheat, corn, soy
Elimination diets: Remove suspected foods for 6–8 weeks
Limited-ingredient diets: Single protein + carbohydrate sources
Monitor improvements carefully; gradual reintroduction can identify triggers
