Which category of protein is suggested for use in a Limited Ingredient Diet (LID) for sensitive Brittanys?

Novel proteins like venison or duck

A proven strategy for managing chronic digestive issues in Brittanys is switching to a Limited Ingredient Diet (LID). The primary goal of an LID is to simplify the diet significantly, minimizing the total number of components to make it easier to isolate and eliminate potential dietary triggers. If common ingredients like chicken are suspected as the cause of inflammation, the immediate focus shifts to introducing novel proteins. Novel proteins are defined as those sources that the dog has likely never encountered previously in its diet, such as venison, duck, or certain varieties of fish. This approach helps reduce the inflammatory load on the digestive tract while still providing the necessary dense calories required by this active sporting breed.
