Abstract

The past decade has witnessed the performance of well-designed studies that enable diagnosing canine chronic inflammatory enteropathy and trials that assess treatment options. In these guidelines, we evaluate diagnostic approaches including endoscopy, biopsy, and histopathology, disease classification, and biomarkers used in the management of this condition. Dietary treatment options were assessed, along with the additional impact of several treatments used in conjunction with first-line dietary management.
