Understanding Food Sensitivities and Allergies in Doodles and Poodles

Stokeshire, renowned for its affectionate Doodles and Poodles, has seen a 12.5% rise in food allergies and a 30.7% increase in environmental allergies in the past decade among these breeds.

Environmental allergies, or atopy, typically manifest between 1 and 3 years and can stem from food allergies. Doodles and Poodles aren't inherently more prone to food allergies, but genetics play a role. Diagnosing these allergies involves an elimination diet.
