Description

The Brooklyn Veterinary Group is affiliated with eight other veterinary hospitals in Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Bronx in order to provide clients and their pets with an excellent standard of care. Each of the hospitals maintains their own individuality, but as a group we are able to create a unique network, which allows for the highest quality of veterinary medicine.

Many animals will occasionally react to something that they ate. This may be sensitivity to a particular type of food. The symptoms are often not a true allergy, just a mild gastrointestinal upset. Once you associate the upset with a particular type of food you avoid it and the problem is usually solved. Food allergy, however, is different. Antibodies are produced against some part of the food, usually a protein. In a pet with food allergy, the immune system overreacts and produces antibodies to substances that it should normally tolerate. This excessive response is termed allergic reaction .
