Built for the moment something stops working
When the itching, the ear infections or the soft stools turn from a thing to a problem — that's when this site exists.
Match your pet's triggers
Tell us what your dog or cat reacts to and every scan checks against that profile. Cross-reactivity (chicken → turkey, beef → bison) is wired in.

Built for allergic dogs — 3 ingredients to understand, not avoid
This is a prescription hypoallergenic diet. The soy is hydrolysed — broken into fragments too small to trigger most allergic responses, which is exactly why vets prescribe it to soy-allergic dogs (~90% tolerate it). Soy oil and chicken fat are refined or rendered, so the allergenic protein is largely absent — trace risk worth monitoring, not a direct hit. If your vet recommended this food, this scan is not a reason to avoid it.
Pick the symptom you actually see
What it looks like for your dog or cat — what to test for next.
Itching & scratching
Drives 15-30% of chronic-itch cases in dogs.
Ear infections
Keep recurring? Worth ruling out food alongside environmental allergy.
Paw licking & chewing
Constant licking often points to an allergy — environmental or food.
Digestive issues
Food allergy can show as GI signs, not just itch — worth ruling out.
Hot spots
Recurring hot spots often sit on an underlying allergy, food or environmental.
Vomiting
Recurring, not occasional? Food trigger worth ruling out.

I built this because I needed it. My Cockapoo's been managing food allergies for 7+ years and I got tired of squinting at ingredient lists wondering whether "chicken fat" still counts. Every article on this site is sourced; every scan flags the same things I flag for my dog. If something here saves you a vet visit you didn't need, that's the whole point.
