摘要: Environmental and dietary risk factors for the development of canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) in high-risk breeds boxer, bullterrier West Highland white terrier were assessed a case–control study. A logistic regression model was developed to evaluate their relative importance 58 cases from 12 practices Sweden 61 unaffected controls, matched by breed year birth. The final included random error term ‘examining veterinarian’, as dogs same practice not considered independent. No effect gender, season birth, environment, vaccination or de-worming on odds developing CAD detected. main finding that feeding diet including noncommercial products bitch during lactation had protective her offspring; twice high among offspring bitches exposed home-made/noncommercial diets [95% confidence interval (CI) ratio: 1.2–3.8]. population attributable fraction home-made lactating estimated 0.4 (95% CI: 0.04–0.63). Randomized controlled clinical trials are needed further support potential role development.
