Cover Story: Chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE) refers to a group of idiopathic disorders of dogs that are characterised by persistent gastrointestinal signs. Traditionally, the pharmacological management of CIE is attained through the administration of antibiotics and immunosuppressors, which, despite being rather efficacious, may adversely affect a patient’s quality of life in light of their side effects. Therefore, the development of novel, safe and effective CIE interventions, to be used alone or in combination with drugs, is highly sought after. The present review presents potential mechanisms of action and discusses the scientific evidence regarding the main nonpharmacological agents that could find use in the management of CIE, with a special emphasis on those that manipulating the host’s intestinal microbiota.
