Healthy Food Helps Eliminate Allergies - CLICK HERE

I had a major problem with DOG FOOD ALLERGIES in my Lady girl for several years.

This included incessant paw licking, until they were raw.

When I finally started making her a homemade diet this problem suddenly stopped.

If your canine has unknown allergies, the first thing to try would be changing their diet to a chemical free, additive free, preservative free food, and preferrably organic if possible.

There are many excellent choices of Allergy Formula Dog Foods. Listed here are the best picks as they all contain very few ingredients and are made specifically for dogs prone to allergies.

These are based on a unique blend of a premium protein and carbohydrate not commonly found in dog foods. These formulas also contain fewer ingredients than regular dog food.

Uneccessary corn or grain fillers, along with harmfull chemicals which are known to cause allergies, or a suppressed immune system which is caused by inadequate nutrition, are also eliminated in special allergen formula foods.

NATURAL BALANCE ALLERGY FORMULAS

Natural Balance allergy Formulas are proven formulas for dogs with allergies based on a unique single source protein and single source carbohydrate blend.

Some canines may be highly sensitive to commonly used proteins, carbohydrates and food additives in their diet. Allergic reactions can lead to irritable bowel, upset stomach, and a number of skin problems.

Natural Balance has created an extensive line of different formulas and flavours for these food allergies.

A single premium source of protein, not commonly used in most dog foods is used such as salmon, venison, duck, or chicken.

A single source of carbohydrate not commonly found in regular foods (potatoes or sweet potatoes), along with effective natural ingredients to help rebuild the dog’s immune system are also used.

No Artificial Preservatives, Flavors or Colors.

Does not contain Soy, Wheat, Rice, Eggs, or Dairy Products.

Choose any of these Natural Balance Allergy Formulas for your dog. They are all excellent, and all you have to do is choose the flavour.

PARASITES
Fleas and mites are the most common cause of dog skin problems, and easily treatable.

Since one female flea can consume fifteen times her body weight in blood over her adult life, that one single flea can cause tremendous misery for a dog.

If untreated, fleas can also cause anemia and tapeworms.

Today there are many different choices to protect our pets from fleas and ticks, yet veterinarians still see many dogs with flea problems on a daily basis.

Spot treatments are the most common and seem to be the most effective way to control fleas, ticks and mites.

Avoid dog skin problems from fleas and ticks by using spot treatments regularly or as directed by the manufacturer or your vet.

CANINE ALLERGIES


Learn from Lady about chemical free foods here.

My Black Lab “Lady” suffered with dog skin allergies since we brought her home as a rescued puppy over 12 years ago.

She would lick her paws for hours and make them raw. Over the years, I have learned that dog allergies can be just as difficult to pinpoint in dogs as they are in humans.

Allergies occur when the body’s immune system is weakened, which can be caused by improper or insufficient nutrition.

Feeding home made dog food with added nutritional supplements or the top of the line dog food made specifically for dogs with allergies, is the simplest way to determine if the allergies are caused by the present foods your dog is eating.

Food for Dogs with Allergies – Click Here.

Giving a higher nutritional diet is what stopped my Lady’s allergies altogether. Her immune system was fortified, and in turn the allergies completely disappeared, along with the continuous licking.

DOG SEASONAL ALLERGENS

If you notice your dog chewing and scratching more in the mornings after he/she comes in from outside, then it’s possible he’s/she’s sensitive to pollen, mold, ragweed or other environmental factors.

Also, allergies can include a sensitivity to dust. So, if dusting the house is considered low on your priority list, yet you notice that your dog is fine until he/she comes into the house, then it’s possible that he is sensitive to dust-mites.

Environmental allergens are usually treated with anti-inflammatories and shampoos, ointments, sprays and supplements.

FOOD ALLERGIES

Chewing the feet can be an indicator of food allergies.

Although food allergies are less common in dogs, they can become more severe.

Sometimes your canine might be allergic beef, and tolerate lamb and chicken just fine. This is a trial and error process.

It is a know fact that many dogs are allergic to corn and other grain fillers used in the cheap commercial dog foods. By eliminating this, most of the time the allergy will also disappear.

Once switched over to a healthier, natural diet most of these symptoms completely stop.

Don’t give a large variety to start with, and slowly introduce any new foods over a period of several weeks to see if the chewing increases or decreases.

Keeping a careful watch of what your pet eats makes all the difference in catching an unknown food allergy.

Diet, Airborne or Both?

The first priority for owners tackling dog skin problems or dog allergies should be to immediately switch to a natural or organic based diet or special allergen free diet, whether home made or a premium brand name.

This is something that definitely will not harm your pet, and is the easiest and least expensive way to start figuring out what is causing the licking and allergies.

The allergen free speciality foods contain less ingredients, which will help eliminate many problems with food allergies. HYPOALLERGENIC FOOD – Click Here.

Remember, just because your dog doesn’t do well on lamb doesn’t mean that he won’t do well on a chicken based food.

Lady’s paw licking had been ongoing for years, with medical treatments of prednisone, antihistamines, and costly vet bills for expensive allergy testing and after all that the diagnosis was inconclusive.

When I switched her to grain free, natural food her allergies and paw licking stopped within a week.

The real key is to observe your dog’s patterns.

Don’t try several things at once such as new food, along with an anti inflammatory and a new specialized shampoo for itching.

Do one thing at a time and wait a few weeks to see if there is a change.

Try upgrading to a better food first, rather than medications, but that is totally up to you. I would have saved a lot of money and vet bills doing that.

This can be difficult and obviously uncomfortable for your pet, so have patience, compassion and understanding while trying to sort everything out.
