==Prevention of Diet Associated Behavioural Problems==

Complete prevention of diet related behavioural problems is not normally possible as they are difficult to predict. On average, most pets consume a diet which contains far higher levels of protein than are necessary to satisfy amino-acid needs. Some anecdotal evidence points to some breeds being more sensitive to certain dietary components. For example the Cavalier King Charles spaniel may be more sensitive to preservatives and Golden Retrievers to exorphines, as well as others which may react to different meat proteins affecting serotonin<ref>Ballarni, G. Animal psychodietetics. J Small Anim Pract 1990;31:523-32</ref>. However, further research is necessary to investigate these suggestions.
