Faecal calprotectin scoring provides valuable clinical insight in supporting diet trials or medication reviews in dogs.

In patients presenting with cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFR), elevated faecal calprotectin supports the presence of gastrointestinal inflammation.

GIQuest can help assess the impact of dietary modification in dogs with food-responsive enteropathy (FRE).
- 22 dogs with FRE were tested before and after a 3-month diet trial.
​- All 22 dogs scored in the inflammatory range (>3mg/kg) before treatment. ​
- Post-treatment 100% of the dogs had reduced levels of calprotectin, with 75% falling within the normal or borderline range.
