Silke Böhm is closely involved with the BARF diet, not least because her own dog suffers from an allergy. She very quickly gained control over this problem with the help of Dr Monika Linek, a vet specialising in skin diseases, who gives detailed information on this topic in the "Allergies" chapter.
