What type of pet do you have?

Is your pet’s itching, gut upset or ear trouble a food allergy?

The symptoms of a food allergy — itchy skin, recurrent ear infections, paw licking, loose stools — overlap with environmental allergies, parasites and other conditions, which makes them hard to tell apart from the outside. This screener asks the questions a vet would start with (what the signs are, how long they’ve lasted, whether they follow the seasons) and gives you a structured read on how food-allergy-like the picture is, plus what to do next.

What it is — and what it isn’t

It’s a triage aid to help you decide whether a food allergy is worth investigating and to prepare for a vet visit. It is not a diagnosis and doesn’t replace a vet. A food allergy is confirmed only by a vet-led elimination diet, not by a questionnaire, a blood test or a saliva test.

Once you know what you’re avoiding, you can scan a food label for those allergens, match specific signs in the symptom guides, or read about the common allergens behind most reactions.

Frequently asked questions

How does the symptom screener work?

You answer a short set of questions about your pet's symptoms, how long they have lasted, any seasonal pattern, breed and current diet. The screener weighs the answers and returns a structured assessment of how consistent the picture is with a food allergy versus other causes, plus suggested next steps.

Can it diagnose a food allergy?

No — and this matters. The screener is an educational triage aid, not a diagnosis and not veterinary advice. A food allergy can only be confirmed with a vet-led elimination diet. Skin and gut symptoms overlap with many other conditions, so anything concerning needs a vet.

What signs point towards a food allergy rather than a seasonal one?

Food-driven reactions tend to be non-seasonal (they do not track spring/autumn), often involve both ears or recurrent ear infections, and persist year-round. Seasonal/environmental allergy usually flares at particular times of year. The screener asks about exactly these patterns — but only a vet can confirm the cause.

Educational screening only — not veterinary advice or a diagnosis. If your pet is unwell, see a vet.
