With Diwali, Christmas, and New Year on the horizon firework season is upon us. For most of us humans this is a time of celebration and joy, but for our furbabies, it can be quite the opposite.

Food allergies in these animals are often overlooked or misdiagnosed, as it can be difficult for some people to ‘digest’ that pets could ever be allergic to these meats, as they’re the two most popular proteins in pet foods.
