Chronic
pruritus can disrupt quality of life to a level comparable to chronic pain," the dermatologist observed.

To be included in the study, the dog had to be exhibiting clinical signs, such as

If
pruritus remained, although the treatment suggested or the remission of the other clinical signs, then, cutaneous food allergy was considered as a differential diagnosis and the elimination dietary trial was indicated, as followed.
Treatment directed at the primary element triggering the
pruritus is most effective.
DISCUSSION: In our study,
pruritus was the commonest symptom which is similar to findings reported in other studies.
Secondary endpoints focus on quality of life measures associated with
pruritus burden using a series of previously validated self-assessment scales.
