TÔM THE EXPERT with Host Dr. Ngo Hong Phuong_0️⃣4️⃣9️⃣: CATS’ HUNTING INSTINCT

🐾 TÔM FOR PET_0️⃣0️⃣4️⃣ | FOOD ALLERGIES IN DOGS – WHEN PROTEIN IS “MISUNDERSTOOD” 🐶
Hi there, pet parents. Tôm here – a “shrimp head” that doesn’t just tell stories, but brings real scientific and clinical insights from veterinary nutrition.
Following our last episode on digestion, today Tôm brings up another frustrating issue many pet parents face: food allergies – where dogs don’t just have diarrhea, but also suffer from itching, hair loss, and persistent skin inflammation despite trying multiple diets 👀
🎙 Episode 4: Food Allergies in Dogs – When Protein Becomes a “Stranger”
👩🏻‍⚕️ Guest: Dr. Ngo Hong Phuong – Veterinary Nutrition Expert with years of research and consulting experience in pet health
📅 Release date: March 31, 2026
Have you ever been stuck in this cycle?
❓ Switching from one diet to another with no real improvement?
❓ Your dog keeps scratching, losing fur, and dealing with chronic skin issues?
❓ Why is protein – something the body needs every day – being “attacked” by the immune system?
❓ Can hydrolyzed protein and peptides really help reduce allergies?
In this episode, Tôm and Dr. Phượng break down the immune mechanisms behind food allergies, why intact proteins can be misidentified as “invaders,” and how hydrolyzed protein – especially small peptides – can bypass immune triggers, helping reduce inflammation, stabilize gut health, and improve allergic conditions over time.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:
👉 It’s not about avoiding protein, but choosing the right form of protein
👉 Proper nutrition can help reduce inflammation, itching, and improve quality of life
👉 The wrong choice can keep the immune system in a constant state of activation
At Tôm For Pet and VNF, we believe:
Understand right. Care right. Healthier lives from within.
